I was thinking it would be nice for the owner of the radio. Cause if
the op isn't the owner and the op makes a mistake the owner is out. But
ok I'm an idiot.

Yes, you are right, Don.
I do not believe that this is possible by one button, maybe in CONFIG:

But talking about "contest setup" is more specific as there are some
segments per mode according IARU etc..

Bravo! Excellent post!
There are some things which just go with being an Amateur, like,
learning how to use the rig WAAAY before the contest or DXpedition,
making sure an antenna is hooked up, knowing what frequency you're
transmitting on before you transmit, etc

There was discussion of a future firmware change that would allow
different confgurations to be loaded - such as only 80, 40, 20, 15, and
10 for a specific contest. Once implemented, and when taken to extreme,

In my opinion you don't want to burden the radio with this.
The preferred way is to use any contesting program for logging and set
it up to be a single band operation.
Trying to make the radio so "smart" that it compensates for operator
error is inappropriate.
The op makes a mistake, tough.
I am afraid this will lead us to need a reminder function to alert the
operator to possibly lock bands. This will only sound when the date coincides
with a contest. Then we will need another facility to select only the contests
we need to be reminded of so we can possibly lock the band change
