I'm presuming that HS has enough attractions to make up for its poor 
treatment of amateur radio, otherwise you wouldn't be there...


I don't see why the conditions imposed on you by the government you've 
chosen to live under should determine how a piece of equipment I might 
choose to use should function.

This is a technical hobby, not an appliance operators pastime...

Are you also saying that any multi-band commercially made rig should 
only cover the bands available to you in Thailand, on the off chance 
that you might want to import one?

Hang on...didn't you say that HS didn't have 6m or the WARC bands? Then 
how are you going to get your K3s into the country, whether they 
transmit out of band or not?

I'm confused!

I'm with Julian with this one - I have the knowledge and ability to 
ensure I stay within the terms of my licence and don't need the radio to 
do it for me. I'd rather have the utility of wide range TX coverage for 
the myriad of uses it can be put to (legally) using my techical 
abilities.
