[Elecraft] Setting band edges on the K3

[David Woolley]

The UK 5MHz allocation is not a single continuous allocation.  It is 
more like number of spot frequencies with allowances for different 
bandwidths.  Applying frequency fencing would need consideration of 
modes and filters as well as frequency.

In general, I believe that Elecraft set frequency limits based on the 
destination country, although I don't think they can cope with 
essentially spot allocations.

I believe there are ways of changing the allocations in the field, but 
they are not in the public domain and users have to demonstrate 
authorisation for the frequency.

Here in Europe (as elsewhere I believe) different countries have different band edges - this is particularly so for the 5MHz band. It would be all too easy for me to respond to an FT8 CQ (for example) from a European station and find that I was transmitting outside of the UK 5MHz band. OK so I can fix my transmit frequency but it would be nicer if I could set band limits.
