It will be. The challenge is that there are region and country/

to be considered. It isn't a trivial enhancement.
You know, it is possible to prevent out-of-band operation by
*thinking* and not setting the VFO to a frequency that will allow
energy to fall outside the band. I teach this to my 6th-grade students
who are upgrading to general-class and will be using the classroom K2
to make contacts. This technique works surprisingly well.

Yes, that's something we need to get back into the heads of our fellow
law enforcement agency employees.
Why are we Hams allowed to build our own equipment and operate it
without any certification? But as soon as we make money of such
devices all sorts of certifications have to be passed.
Matter of fact, German law says that the operator of any equipment is
responsible for obeying to law limits. So I'd prefer a non-limited
version of the Flex firmware and not one that is even more strict
than the law.
As Tim said: It's not trivial to implement an all-in-one firmware with
all the differing requirements. (It's technically complex but the
sheer number of combinations of restrictions is really impressive).
Therefore I'd vote to get a firmware that says "Look Dude, you voted
for No Limits. You're on your own now. FRS is not liable for anything
anymore. Good luck." If I have to sign a paper for that I'll do!
And I am not only addressing the sub-band requirements here. My
Flex-5kA currently doesn't allow me to work on frequencies I am
allowed to work on here in Germany.
Cheers
Frank
