RE: Repeaters ( Ham) locations and coverage maps
Quoted from ofcom:-
Installation or use of repeater devices (as with any radio equipment) is a criminal offence unless two conditions are satisfied:
That the equipment is CE marked, indicating that the manufacturer has declared it complies with all relevant EU regulatory requirements, including the Radio equipment and Telecommunications Terminal Equipment (R&TTE) Directive;
That the use of the equipment is specifically authorised in the UK, either via a licence or by regulations made by Ofcom to exempt the use from licensing.
After a good search of the ofcom site, I couldn't find any authorization for CB repeaters. Licensed ham repeaters yes.
In the absence of authorization, I choose caution. It's too easy for them to say "we didn't authorize this" and act accordingly.
