I agree with Julian - this could be programmed by the user, maybe via some
nice CAT commands. An advantage would be restricting a remote-controlled K3
from transmitting on bands where the antenna doesn't work / causes TVI /
interferes with the beer dispenser.
Those of us outside the FCC's control are allowed to think for ourselves,
please don't tie us down too much :-)

Why not leave it up to the operator to know where the band edges are,
as did analogue radios of yore? Do hams really need a digital nanny to
remind them where the bands start and end? These limits only cause
frustration when the band allocations change (as did 40m a couple of
years ago here) or when you take the radio to operate abroad, or when
you want to use a transverter and need wider coverage than the band
used as the IF.
