[Elecraft] Re: Band Limits - MARS ?

[Eric Swartz - WA6HHQ, Elecraft]

Hi guys,

We have a second program in process that will allow you to set specific 
band limits. We have an internal version of that in-house now for use 
setting limits for special countries , like Thailand, but it needs some 
sprucing up before release to the public.

At this time we're only doing these programs for Windows. We just don't 
have the time to do everything for all operating systems. (We not that 
big yet! :-) Since these are usually 'one-time run' programs, I think 
this is reasonable. If we have time, we may do them for Mac in the future.
