[Elecraft] Frequency Limits by license?

[Fred Jensen]

They also change from time to time.

It always was your responsibility to make sure you were transmitting 
within the ham band.  I know it was my responsibility because I still 
have the "Pink Slip" taped to the back of one of my log pages from that 
era, more than one stage of my HB transmitter had decided to become an 
oscillator.  Sadly, there was no firmware in my HB open-chassis 807 
transmitter to warn me. :-)
