Scanning not allowed on 6m

There is certainly no law in the USA that prohibits scanning on 6m. The only restrictions of which I'm aware are that you're not allowed to receive cellular frequencies (all scanners sold in the US have those blocked, as do any other receivers) and there are restrictions in some states on having a scanning in a vehicle. Perhaps someone familiar with the K3 can comment on whether this is some form of technical restriction.

Hi David. No, it's not a technical restriction. I contacted Elecraft and they have told me how to remove the restriction. However, they also asked me not to pass the information on, because they don't want people doing it in countries where 6m scanning is not allowed. I'd be interested to know what countries those are, though. Google hasn't come up with anything.
