My Yaesu FT-900 has this feature for 10 memory locations, you can program in
the upper and lower limits for which you want to operate in.

It's the one feature that I miss as I upgraded to the 756 series of radios.
Even the straight 756, not to mention the 'Pro series, is do much better
that I don't miss the feature much.

The FT-900 has a kind of screwy memory system, each memory location has an
"A" and a "B" side which lends itself to having the operating limits. You
store one limit in the "A" memory and the other in the "B" memory. But this
system added difficulty to some other operating, like operating split.
