Your application will be treated in confidence by the Radiocommunications Agency and its appointed agents. Any proposed change in the details given on the completed application form must be notified in advance to the Radiocommunications Agency at the address given above.
A change from the details shown in the licence may mean that the operation of the equipment would be illegal. You may be charged for any extra work involved in issuing a new licence.
On receipt of this form your request for frequencies will be assessed and a schedule will be sent to you indicating which frequencies have been allocated to you, along with an invoice. Licences are charged for a 48 hour period. Please note that the appropriate licence fee must be paid before any licence can be issued. If you are paying by international money order, all payments must be made in sterling so that the Agency receives the full amount. Under the terms of the Wireless Telegraphy Act 1949, it is an offence for which you may be prosecuted to install or use radio apparatus (other than exempt apparatus), except under a licence issued by the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry. The submission of an application form for a licence does not permit the operation of the equipment nor, indicate that a licence will be issued.
The equipment must not cause interference to any other wireless telegraphy equipment. No protection will be given from interference received from other authorised services or from industrial, scientific and medical (ISM) equipment.

Frequency application guidance notes
Location number
As well as the general location of use, for large events we also need the exact location of the transmitter and receiver for each frequency. All Tx/Rx locations should be listed on page 6 and their respective numbers inserted in this column on the frequency application.
Type of equipment
Radio equipment must be compliant with the Radio Equipment and Telecommunications Terminal Equipment (R&TTE) Directive and should meet the requirements of Interface Requirement 2038. Further information on the R&TTE Directive is contained in the information sheet: Guidance for Manufacturers on the Introduction of the R&TTE Directive. This information sheet and Interface Requirement 2038 are available from the Radiocommunications Agency website. www.radio.gov.uk
Make and model
Please state the make and model number of the equipment using the frequency.
Preferred frequency
Please state, in KHz, MHz or GHz, the middle point frequency of the channel you wish to use.
Tuning range
If the equipment is retunable over a range of frequencies, please state the full range.
Bandwidth
Please state the required bandwidth. Note that UK channel planning normally operates in multiples of 12.5 KHz, and your equipment will be expected to conform to this. Please state if your equipment has a different requirement.
Polarisation
The polarisation of the transmission.
ERP level (power)
Please seek the lowest possible power, as this will enable more use of radio to be accommodated at the event.
The Agency normally assigns ERP levels of 2 Watts for on-site systems and 10 Watts for wide area systems. Sometimes however, applicants may require a higher ERP level in order to provide satisfactory coverage of their business area. In such cases increases in ERP up to a maximum of 4 Watts for on-site and 25 Watts for wide area may be acceptable.
Notes
Please let us know if you require a set distance between your frequencies. It is possible that you will not be able to use some of the frequencies you have asked for, but we may be able to find alternatives. We therefore need to know about any set distance required so that we can take this into account when offering you other frequencies.
Constant transmit
Please put "Y" if the equipment transmits continuously, "N" for intermittent.
Airborne
Please state the altitude (in feet) at which radio will be operated. Users are reminded that airborne use will also require the separate approval of the Civil Aviation Authority.
I have read and understood the guidance notes and have fully and accurately completed the application form to the best of my knowledge.
I declare that the body (if any) I represent will be responsible for compliance with the licence and will have control and supervision of the equipment, and that I have due authority to make this declaration and to sign this application on its behalf.
The information given on this form is to be processed for the purpose of approving this application and issuing a radio licence.
