 already in the entry window; clicking anywhere else just moves the radio.

 Band-plan colouring of the scale is not there. The segments differ by ITU region
 and the program has no band-plan table, so it would be guesswork.
 
+### Band edges
+
+A contact just outside a band edge keeps its band. `Bands.ForFrequency` first
+checks the real edges, and for anything outside them falls back to the whole
+megahertz: 14400 kHz is 20M, 7305 kHz is 40M. This is N1MM's rule, and it is
+there because contest operating goes past the edges — someone answers a CQ at
+14352, or a radio reports a frequency a few hundred hertz off — and a contact
+with no band scores nothing and exports wrong. Below 1 MHz the megahertz is
+always 0, so 2190M and 630M are told apart by their edges alone.
