2.4 GHz In Decemeber 2006 OFCOM issued the necessary permissions and changes to Government legislation to allow the sale and use of approved equipment transmitting on the 2.4 GHz band at 100mw maximum radiating power. The 2.4GHz band can be used to control any type of model, either airborne, ground or water based within the constraints of the law. Use of "after market" plug-in modules - which must be individually compliant and correctly CE marked - is permitted only where the manufacturer (or person who first places the module on the market in the EU), has taken the appropriate steps for ensuring compliance of the overall unit - ie transmitter plus module. Users should be aware that they may be breaking the law when operating UK legal 2.4GHz sets in certain countries within the EEC - for instance the maximum allowed radiated power at 2.4GHz for model control in France is 1/10th of the UK level ie 10mW . Always seek advice before use overseas. In the USA, the maximum allowed 2.4GHz radiating power is 10 times that of the UK ie 1Watt and for that reason use of "grey" imported 2.4GHz sets from the USA may well result in the operator of such equiment breaking the law whether or not a CE label has been attached to the transmitter or plug-in module. ****************************************************************************************** With effect from 21.5.1987, Statutory
Instrument 776/87 confirmed the following bands for model control equipment: Certain frequencies in the 49MHz band are legally allowed for toy operation but the allowed power output is severly restricted. |
