[Elecraft] Re: K3 freqs query

[Simon Brown (HB9DRV)]

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 control are allowed to think for ourselves, 
please don't tie us down too much :-)
