[Elecraft] KX3 4m-Band Bandlimits

[Dave]

Many countries have or say that they are allocating frequencies in the 4M 
band David. Whether or not discussed at IARU. I think CEPT have recognised 
that it's happening in their footnote "EU9" to the CEPT agreement.

A few German stations had been given spot frequencies arround 69.950MHz to 
transmit on using something similar to our NoV system, but until the end of 
August there's an allocation of between 70.100 to 70.030MHz for German 
Amateurs.

The Four Metres Website is a good place to go for the latest news on places 
which have recently made new frequency allocations on the 4M band
