I agree with Julian - this could be programmed by the user, maybe via some nice CAT commands. An advantage would be restricting a remote-controlled K3 from transmitting on bands where the antenna doesn't work / causes TVI / interferes with the beer dispenser. Those of us outside the FCC's

Why not leave it up to the operator to know where the band edges are, as did analogue radios of yore? Do hams really need a digital nanny to remind them where the bands start and end? These limits only cause frustration when the band allocations change (as did 40m a couple of years ago here)

I know it sounds exactly opposite to the purpose of the feature, but will it be possible to change the frequency limits- i.e. if I want to take my K3 on a trip to somewhere with restrictive rules? Perhaps a special firmware download? 73, doug Date: Tue, 5 Jun 2007 12:06:21 -0400 (EDT)

We will be providing K3's programmed for specific markets (such as Thailand) with TX limitations when required. In the U.S. though, I believe there are no FCC TX limits under part 97. As a matter of policy though we do block 100w transmit in the U.S. CB band. 73, Eric WA6HHQ
