KM9M commented on the idea of having logging programs try to stop us from
transmitting on the wrong VFO:

I agree that things in general may be getting a little too dependent, but
this actually
is a good idea & would be quite helpful in the heat of the battle or when
one is
knackered - which is probably a contributing factor to accidental out-of-band
transmissions where split is often used - the lower bands, which are
largely night
time bands.
