I agree, we should be able to make our radios do whatever we want  
them to do. That being said, many countries have regulations that  
limit what a radio may do in order to be approved for sale in that  
country. The easy solution is to put the limits in software so that  
the radio passes the regulatory requirements but allows the  
technically-savvy owner to make it do what they want it to. (wink- 
wink, nudge-nudge)
