<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>There is something already in WT that may help you
- I use SEGMENT files to indicate band plans. You define your band
plan in the segment file and then load it in the Options/Data Files/Segment
Files menu. The band plan displays on the band-map. I use this in the RSGB 80m
CC contests to remind me of my limits.<BR></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hope that's of help. I don't know if a TX can be
disabled through the CAT port or not, to be honest I would rather my radio not
be disabled.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>============================<BR>The RSGB has just announced that as part of
the RSGB IOTA contest that if<BR>any one enters and makes QSO?s in segments of
the band that have been<BR>identified as part of the rules to NOT be used then
points for any contacts<BR>made within these areas will be lost. <BR>* On a
real out of band scenario i.e. 13.999MHZ then the RADIO WILL<BR>NOT TX, as I
would expect but there is NO INDICATION on the SCREEN to tell<BR>the operator
that he has now gone out of Band. When we used to use NA for<BR>contesting it
flagged the operator with a message telling them they were now<BR>out of
band.<BR>* CAN THIS OPTION BE ADDED to WIN-TEST?<BR>* Back to areas within the
bands that are being identified as<BR>un-usable for the contest. Could this be
set ?up within Win-Test to flag the<BR>operator that he has now entered an area
that he can?t use for this contest.<BR>For example in the 2007 RSGB IOTA rules
stated that the following areas were<BR>not to be used during the contest ? 3560
to 3600MHz, 3650 to 3700MHz , 14060<BR>to 14125MHz and lastly 14300 to 14350MHz.
<BR>* COULD A MESSAGE BE DISPLAYED ON THE SCREEN IDENTIFYING USABLE AREA?<BR>*
COULD WIN-TEST DISABLE THE TX IN THESE AREAS?<BR>Personally I think in the
future that all contest rules will be stating band<BR>edges for the modes being
allowed during the contest so it might help if the<BR>facilities were added
now.<BR>Hopefully this can be looked into before the RSGB IOTA contest in
July?.</DIV>
