K3 - why no scanning on 50 MHz?

[Dave, G4AON]

I've just tried to scan the beacon end of 50 MHz and my K3 reports that
scanning isn't allowed on this band!

Er, can we have that one fixed?

This might be a limitation in the US? But certainly isn't here.
Which brings me to my next question...
Will it be possible in the future to completely remove any kind of Tx limits
by band?
I realise this may be necessary in order to comply with regs in some
countries, but it certainly isn't here - oh yes, we can only Tx within band,
but we are supposed to be able to regulate ourselves - nanny state or what!

Thanks for posting the results your measurements of your K3's noise floor on
50 MHz. I hope that that the K3 will be fixed to allow scanning chosen parts
of the 50 MHz band, as well as frequencies a few hundred kHz below the band.
Am I right to assume that the K3's receiver can be tuned below the band, at
least to the frequency where the front end filters start to roll off?
