Hi all
I've just got a UK Foundation Licence.
The rules say I have to use a kit or radio which complies with regulation IR2028 ()
which is a seriously vague document that deals with band plans.
Anybody know if uBitX complies with IR2028 and is legal?
thanks

I am not familiar with UK rules, but it looks like the uBitX makes an ideal Foundation Class radio from the specs and the description you sent.

Well, my 1st read of your Foundation License as a YANKEE -I have to say is pretty easy to understand.
However... The unknown is...and a Queens subject can affirm it at the next club meeting. A very good reason to be a member of a club-
#1 In the UK is just POSSESSION of a radio that is CAPABLE of operating beyond the standards LEGAL?
??? a. The uBITX can run more power than 10 watts.
??? b. The uBITX can? operate at frequencies beyond those allowed under Foundation rules.

#2 Here in the US, possessing a radio that is capable of illegal operation if USED LEGALLY is no problem.. IE: I have a rig that CAN transmit continuous 1.5 to 30Mhz, but I don't transmit outside of my authorization, so no foul. BTW- additional ham bands were authorized after the radio's manufacture, so "opening up " the radio allows new authorizations without having to purchase a new radio.?

If you must be limited to possession of a radio (uBITX) that is ONLY operational within your frequency allocations, that can be done with the uBITX by programming frequency limits into the nano.

The 10 watt limit on all bands would be my concern as the uBITX transmitter output isn't exactly FLAT 3-30Mhz...

So you're 1/2 way there. It may need some tweaking to comply, But there are plenty of experts your side of the pond.

Good Luck and Good DX....
