What countries would not allow those radios to come in to the country with me? Will they not let me operate? I have not run into this restriction in about 15 or so countries so far. I just want to know where I don't want to go to visit and operate. 73HankK8DD ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

RE: [Elecraft] Firmware updates for EU bands
I don't know Thai law at all, but if it's that easy to change the band limits, would the Thai authorities consider the radio to have band limits at all?

Now that sounds like a VERy good idea, then those that want limits can have them, and those that don, er, don't On 1/12/07 17:11, "Julian G4ILO" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> sent: > On Dec 1, 2007 1:48 PM, Toby Deinhardt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> In some countries yes. >> >> If I remember correctly places like Malta and Thailand require "hard" >> band limits in the hardware (firmware), and they check for them too. >> > > Couldn't the band limits be user programmable, a function of the > firmware utility?
