[Elecraft] Frequency Limits by license?

[Don Wilhelm]

Because it can be programmed to adhere to several country limitations, I 
am certain that is *possible*, but that is not a user programmable 
feature, and requires a substantial effort on the part of the Elecraft 
staff to provide such limits.  So I doubt that it would be done for US 
customers.

Part of the requirements for obtaining a license in the US is to know 
and abide by the limitations of our license class - you just have to 
look at the frequency display - it has been that way on all HF 
transceivers that I have encountered and many of those were 'wide open' 
and would transmit on any frequency that they were tuned to. It is the 
responsibility of the operator to know where he is transmitting.  I 
think it is an unwise thing to try to depend on the transceiver to tell 
you that you are out of your band limits, but then I am an 'old timer' 
with 'old thinking' - I would not want my transceiver to try to tell me 
I am out of my band limits - I reserve that for my own judgement.
