Hi,
Yay, another blind Elecraft user :)
Beeps at band edges may be helpful, but, using both a K2 and a KX3, I’m getting
by without them. While it’s true that when I get close to band edges I check
the readout more often, it’s equally true that having the readout in the first
place is just
Good idea Buddy. I originally put band edges for each band into the first 10
memory channels, VFO a for lower edge and VFO b for upper edge. But this does
take up multiple memories. I'm going to switch those to the 4 Quick Memories
per band section to save space. (had to find them first in the
I just discovered by accident that my KX3 will xmit out of the ham bands. Is
this able to be locked so I can't do that? I confirmed it was really
transmitting using another radio. I didn't try voice, just a CW tune by
accident.
I believe thats so people who do MARS work can operate.. learn to
monitor yourself thats part of being a ham...
Locking the firmware would be wrong. this is not just a ham
transceiver. its a full op transceiver..

I didn't ask to be taught how to operate. I didn't criticize that it CAN
transmit out of band, or that it was a bad thing. I understand the uses for
xmitting out of band. I asked if there was a feature to lock it into ham bands
that can be OPTIONALLY enabled.
Get off your high horse.

Out of band means different things in each of more than a hundred countries,
so it is a lot of work to put that in firmware. Handy, but very tedious, and it
would probably delay other features.
I wouldn't mind band edge beeps myself, I am a bit absent-minded about that.

That's a good idea, especially if I can set them myself.
A text warning on the display would be nice too.

I can appreciate that. And I would not want it to delay other features. But
to compare to other radios, most are inverted in this operating method. They
are locked into bands of their localization and require either modification or
proof of MARS license to open it.I'm not for locking
Chris,
That would be 'nice', but consider that not only the band limits of the
various countries is involved, but domestically, the band limits
depend on the operator's license class. Should this be extended to
include the CW band limits for Technician hams, phone bands and CW bands
