Spend a little time learning the band limits of your license class. You'll be glad you did. 73, Tom Thanks Tom, You'd think that after looking at the chart nearly daily for the last five or so years that I'd remember wouldn't ya? ;-) Same thing with music; play a song thirty times, close the

How about sticking one of these up on your wall: http://www.arrl.org/graphical-frequency-allocations It will help you get familiar with where the band edges are, and before you know it, knowing when you are in-band will become second nature. But human beings WILL make mistakes, especially in

It's still a requirement. The discussion is over having a marker to remind the op. Like a real-time memory aid. Many of us MARS ops have to do this by memory or look up, because MARS freqs are all over HF. 73, matt W6NIA, NNN0UET SCA On Wed, 21 Aug 2013 04:41:02 -0700, you wrote: If I

A while back I thought it would be useful to be able to limit a VFO's frequency excurusion to a user-selected segment. Then if you should get to the end of such a defined segment the VFO reading would simply jump to the other end of the segment and keep going, traversing the same segment again as

As long as we're looking at band limits, how about programming for different countries, and band limits for different classes? That way we (who don't remember numbers well) could dial in US - General (or whatever) country and license class, and have only those frequencies available... Ken/ke7hge

Just keeping track of all of the countries, all of the authorized frequencies for all license classes would be a pretty big task. Add to the fact that bands change -- sometimes we even get new ones. If it's something that I can set, the way I want it, on my radio (or choose not to), that's my
