The K2, K1 and KX1 have never had any form of out of band notification 
and it has never been an issue with them. Like the wrong VFO problem it 
is just a matter of taking care what you do. OK, we all make mistakes 
at times, and in the worst case you might accidentally transmit out of 
band. Can't remember ever doing so myself, although some people I call 
are incredibly close to the band edge...

To try and cope with international differences in amateur bands must be 
a nightmare. We recently got the extended 40m band, no problem with the 
K2 but many other rigs from other manufacturers sold in the UK needed 
modding to cover it. 60m on the K2 is broadbanded and not restricted to 
the (useless for us) USA channels. Not to mention we are not allowed to 
go below 1810khz...
