Joint response submitted to Ofcom 24 GHz Consultation

The RSGB, UKuG and AMSAT-UK have submitted a joint response to Ofcom’s proposals to amend the Wireless Telegraphy (Automotive Short Range Radar) (Exemption) (No.2) Regulations 2005.

The joint response says:

"We note and support the primary purpose of the proposed amendment which would enable Ofcom to mandate the automatic de-activation zones around the nominated
observatories for newer 24GHz SRR systems as per the EU decision.

The amended wording (as replicated in the appendix) in general seems consistent with mandating automatic mechanisms only, after the specified date. Likewise we
recognise it is an opportunity to update 1949 WT Act references to the recent 2006 edition."
