  • Please be aware, there is NO such thing as unlicensed spectrum in the UK. There is license exempt spectrum, of which the 2.4GHz ISM band is. In the UK you need a license to transmit AND/OR receive using any part of the radio spectrum (managed by Ofcom). Many bands require a paid for license such as say commercial radio bands. In license exempt bands as long as you stick to the technical (and any other) requirements that Ofcom have published (usually a Standard Instrument or SI which is really an act of Parliament with the requirements in it), then you don't need a specific license (which you would be very unlikely to get (especially in a band which is an ISM or other harmonised band).

    It's a bit of a grey area when it comes to receiving.

     

    Not such a grey area for transmitting though.

     

    But was this directed at an essentials course in particular, or did you mean for this comment to be somewhere else on the site?
