Way to block TX on non-ham freqs 5RM/K5+

[UncleYoda]

I was reprogramming channels on my K5+ using Chirp and could not find a way to block transmit in VFO.  Chirp does not allow setting frequency range limits on these radios like it does for others like UV5R.  I know about setting Duplex to off for memorized channels but that leaves VFO open.  Is there something I'm missing or do I have to just hope Chirp will add the frequency range settings eventually?

Yes.

How about duplex? Will it let you set duplex to off ?

 

 

my bad I just seen you were talking about in VFO mode. So disregard my post !

Why do you need to?  I’ve never accidentally transmitted out of band on any radio ever. Why is this even a thing?   And I do give my radios to noobs, kids, older people ect.   No one ever accidentally changed to fbo mode and then transmitted out of band.

I don't, but a few years ago there was some official at FCC that claimed using a radio that could transmit out of the allowed frequency bands just by using VFO was a violation.  I don't remember the guy's name.  There was a lot of discussion/argument at the time and I never heard of any resolution.  I also never had a problem with out of band TX.
