Reed, it would be nice from you to add this functionality to 1.5.1.

I know most Hams want to be free to decide by themselves to transmit or not because they are disciplined and they will never transmit on non authorized frequencies.
But some countries are more strict such as Japan and Thailand. Thailand will not authorize the import of a rig which can transmit outside of the Thai Hambands (https://www.qsl.net/rast/text/HF-VHFbandplan.html) and they have a short lis of authorized transceivers (https://www.qsl.net/rast/text/Type-approved-list.html).
You can see the Icom IC-7300 in that list. With the IC-7300 you can enter "band edges" with a menu and you can choose one of the two following operating modes of the transceiver : 1. Beep when out of a hamband or 2. Beep and forbid transmission when out of a hamband. I think this could be a nice way to modify the source code as it would leave to the Ham the choice to have a signal like now with 1.5.1 when out of band, which most Hams will prefer or prohibit the transmission, which some countries require.

I would appreciate a modification to your 1.5.1 because I am very much attracted by the iBitx, which reminds me of the first gear I built some 60 years ago, with vaccum tubes, Hi... but I shall order one only if I can set this out of band prohibition when compiling the code and loading it in the uBitx.

…practically it's an unsigned int. This matches types for the constants. Also removed cwAdcSTFrom, since the value will always be greater than 0
