ofcom

Yes! This radio is a full-power unit which works on licensed spectrum. Here’s a few important points to remember:

• Licencing is really easy and cost effective, so don’t be put off
• You only licence the frequency (channel) your radios use, not the number of radios or handsets
• If you’re buying radios to use outside of the UK, you will need to get a licence from your country’s regulatory body
• Want us to guide you through it? Call us on 01778 426777 or email info@theradioshop.co.uk

Buy a licence online:

You can choose from one of the following two options to buy a licence online. Once you place your order, we’ll apply for the licence for you, which is valid for 5 years. Ofcom will then contact you directly in 5 years’ time to arrange the renewal.

Remember: you don’t need a licence per radio, just a licence per fleet of radios. One licence will usually provide enough cover for your company or site (or you as an individual if you’re buying for private use)

Simple UK Licence - £75 for 5 years

This is ideal for most users. It authorises the use of radios anywhere within the UK, on a shared bank of back-to-back (simplex) frequencies. Up to 14 UHF or VHF channels become available on digital radios (7 on analogue)

Simple Site Licence - £75 for 5 years

This is suited to users who use their radios with a repeater. It authorises radio use within 1km of a given site or location, on a shared assignment basis. Up to 34 UHF back to back channels + 6 repeater frequencies become available on digital

I already have a licence:

If you already have radios, you should already have a licence. If you’d like your new radios to work with your existing fleet, you need to send us:

• A copy of your existing Ofcom licence
• For digital radios:
  • Let us know which frequencies are in which channel
  • Which colour code you use
  • Which digital group ID you use
• For analogue radios:
  • Let us know which frequencies are in which channel
  • What CTCSS/TPL/DPL tone you use

Alternatively, you can send us a programming file from one of your existing radios, or even post us one of your existing handsets so that we can make sure we match it correctly.

Note that we accept no responsibility for radios which do not work due to incorrectly provided information. We’ll program your radios for free upon order, but if they don’t work and need re-programming there will be a £10 + VAT fee per unit.
