Naughty Radio Mic Users

[dosxuk]

JFMG don't just take the money on behalf of the Government, they are there to manage certain frequency bands on behalf of the Government. They look after all requests for frequencies and try to match the actual available frequencies up to these requests (which is not always possible).

 

Everybody paying for a license when they get their kit would then be a nightmare, since everyone would then have a right to use it wherever they wanted. Imagine a west end venue with 10 radio mics, and then one day the pub next door gets a DJ who does karaoke with 3 radio mics, and their all on the same frequencies - both groups have paid for their licences. JFMG is there to stop things like this happening, and provide support for when it does happen.

It is very easy to get an illegal frequency (de-reg wise)

last year I purchased an AKG WMS 40 system on behalf of a friend, from a reputable, recognised company,

these systems are fixed frequency, but the one that arrived was a non de-regulated frequency, needless to say this was sent back, and a proper one received.

If I had not been the one doing the buying, it probably would be being used in complete ignorance that anything was wrong

Does anyone know of any successful prosecutions, fines or mics been confiscated? I could do with some e-evidence so I can scare a few people into doing the right thing.

 

I have done a few search but haven't turned anything up.

Whupps, following on from this thread I checked my radio mics at church, someone had changed the frequency cos of interferance, and now one of them was well into TV channel land. Fixed that quick...
