Licensing - general user radio licences FAQ

What are general user radio licences?

General User Licences (formerly known as General Licences) provide for certain classes of radio transmitter to be used without the need for the owner to obtain a licence in their own name.

Provided the equipment meets the applicable technical standards, operates only on the allocated frequencies and meets any other requirements specified in the licence, the equipment may be freely used by anyone.
