I don't think so.  There are situations when you wouldn't want it, say, when
Radio 2 is a second receiver that you use on the same band, but with a
different, well-separated antenna (or maybe they share the same antenna via
the switched "Rx Ant OUT" connector on the radio).

FYI, the microHAM MK2R & MK2R+ SO2R boxes have a hardware "Band lock"
feature that is enabled by default.  It works no matter what program is
running, and it even works when your PC is off:

"Same Band Lockout: disables both radios (or one radio and any other radio
present on the iLink bus) if
MK2R detects two radios on the same band. When the same band lockout is
activated transmission
on all radios on the effected band are immediately disabled and the BUSY LED
will start flashing.
Transmission will be enabled when only one radio remains on the effected
band."
