[Elecraft] Frequency Limits by license?

[Bill Frantz]

My concerns are a bit different. While I like having the radio 
keep me honest, and as an extra class licensee, I'm in good 
shape with the current radio firmware, I worry about 
emergencies. The FCC allows us to work out of band during 
emergencies, but I can't move to a public agency frequency in an 
emergency because there is no override in the firmware.

Now anytime you work out of band, you should expect to have to 
justify it to the FCC. One hopes that they will be gentler than 
loss of license and a $10,000 fine if you have a good reason for 
your operation. If you have a good reason, it should also play 
will in the court of public opinion. YMMV
