Sorry Pierre, "they" don't... Not for radio amateurs.

Professional use like land, sea and air maybe yes.
CB certainly.

Amateurs have a license to live up to. Government may restrict 
commercial amateur gear to be restricted when it leaves the factory but 
if a licensed amateur hampers this for the sake of having special 
functions they should be able to do so without rendering the radio 
illegal. A K2 is not leaving the factory as a complete unit but as a 
bunch of parts that can be put together by qualified users. Spain as a 
country should in that case be to blame, not Elecraft be forced to make 
adaptions to the kit. As should of course Nouvelle Caledonie.
