Setting band limits?

Options
Hi. I am new to FlexRadio, and just bought a 6400. I have a Mac, and I was hoping to set band limits like I had on my Icom IC-7300 -- to ensure that I do not transmit outside of my General privileges.

I have searched the forums here, have done web searches, and have looked through the SSDR manual... and have come up empty.

Is there a way to define band limits so that I do not transmit outside of my privileges?

I see the Band Plan, but I do not see a way to edit it.

Thanks.

    Len’s utility is excellent, but it is a Windows native application, and would require you to run it in a virtual environment.

    You could also create memory locations in the native Mac SmartSDR app and simply label them with the band edges of your privileges.

    I have a utility called Flex Repeater Spots that can put band edges on your SmartSDR screen. It also has an out of band warning feature, if you want to use that as well. Here are some links:

    Even though this utility was originally written with FM repeaters in mind, it works great on all modes and bands.

    Good catch Bill, I read right past the Mac part...

    I use the TNF built into thr radio. I create one at each band edge, like the lower limit of the phone segment. Place frequency on the desired location, right click to create a TMF, adjust it to the desired width and make it Permanent..The color changes to green. That’s it.

    TNF and memories -- these are great ideas. Thanks, guys. I'll do something like that.
