Dear Dave and all others- realistically it seems that at this time, there are one or two frequencies which are candidates for such mutual recognition; 433.92 MHz and 2.4 GHz spread spectrum. These are the only two that I have seen that are commonly allocated, and the relevant specs (ETS 300 220 and 300 328) are also commonly allocated. I've had fairly regular correspondence with the authorities of most of the western european countries, and some east, and I find that in many cases the authorities are limited on what they can do by the military or other security bodies who are quite protective of their allocations, whether or not they use them. Of course these are both low power applications, and I don't have experience to speak of other applications that might fall into a licensing regime.
Shayne LaBudda T\V Product Service ------------- Original Text >From [email protected] (DAVE WILSON), on 5/14/96 11:16 AM: To: <[email protected]> Dear All, ICC has been contracted by the European Radio Office (ERO) to investigate the possibility of mutual recognition of radio type approval throughout the CEPT (43 administrations). The resulting report is to be presented to the Commission. The first stage is to find out what the existing requirements and to this end the relevant administrations have been contacted; however, in order to give a balanced view we would like to hear from anyone (particularly manufacturers) who has experience of obtaining type approval of radio equipment in the CEPT. Has anyone gained any benefit from existing attempts at harmonisation, eg CEPT Recommendations, such as T/R 71-03? Are any administrations particularly open in this respect? Are any particularly closed? We would be very grateful to hear from everyone with a story or an opinion, ASAP please. Regards, Dave Wilson
