428931 2006-02-10 02:00:00 Only 678 licences between 88 and 108MHz. :cool: It's a terrible site for finding things, unless you know where to look. :( Graham L (2)

428933 2006-02-10 08:21:00 one for the TV/radio buffs....

whats the current law concerning radio transmitters?

from my experiece you have to have a lience to broadcast on tv and radio frequencies. even those "video senders" are technically illegal to use.

it will be interesting if it gets to an extend when commerical radio gets blotted out due to pod casting etc.

428934 2006-02-10 20:07:00 Under the Regulation 9 of the Radiocommunications Regulations (2001), you can use the band 88 -108 MHz (FM broadcast band) for "audio sender" devices provided their peak EIRP (Effective Isotropic Radiated Power) is no greater than 0.00002 milliwatts.

No licence is needed for those power levels.

428935 2006-02-10 23:45:00 That looks if it wouldn't jet-propel a sparrow, GF. Are you sure it's that low?You're allowed half a watt for your own FM Station (www.rsm.govt.nz/licensing/gurls/gurl-lpfmbc-2.html) Or is that a fill-in repeater for a proper station? Graham L (2)
428936 2006-02-11 04:47:00 graham...according to that page your allow half a watt under the "general user radio licence". ie you still need to get it licence. btw if i remember rightly the broadcast range is only good for a 1 km or so (a little bit more than a high powered video sender). interference range however can be 3-4 km's easly. tweak'e (69)

428938 2006-02-12 07:48:00 Graham, your linked 2003 document has been revoked by the 2004 one.

www.rsm.govt.nz

Which supports the miniscule levels I was referring to.
