UHF systemsOnly channel 70 (863 -864.99MHz) will be available free of charge and need no licence. The problem is that you risk interference from other users nearby. You can rent space on channel 38 (606.5 MHz to 613.5 MHz) through the licencing agency JFMG - The Joint Frequency Management Group (www.jfmg.co.uk) to ensure interference-free working. Check their website for the options and prices. VHF systemsYou can use: 173.80 MHz, 174.10 MHz, 174.50 MHz, 174.80 MHz, and 175.00 MHz as they are license exempt and can be used free of charge. (174.80 can cause problems so be wary of it.) Other CountriesCheck with your own national bodies what rules they operate. For Europe start with The European Conference of Postal & Telecommunication Administrations .
