Re: Radio laws, Regulations etc. I Recently watched a video about, https://reticulum.network/ I Like the idea and would like to use the application as a framework to build up a local Chatter net of Friends and Relatives. However, i have a couple of questions that i hope you can help me with before i get started. I have communicated with Ofcom who essentialy said its Licence exempt. However, I should get legal guidance to Navigate there legislation and guidance for clarity. Not Very helpfull! I Was looking at purchasing a couple of these, LoRa Devices "Heltec WiFi LoRa 32(V3) Dev-board with SX1262 ESP32 LORA node" I Follow a Guy on youtube called Andy Kirby, He recently did a video on this Video Link He states in his video that;   Quote   In the Uk we are using 867.500mhz With a bandwith of 125khs tx power of 22 and spreading factor of 9, With a coding rate of 5 He says this is narrow band and thus abides by the uk license exemptions etc. Is his assertion Correct? Is this legal in the Uk? Would i need to be the holder of an Amature Radio licence to operate? I though this forum would be the best place to ask for advice, Thanks for taking the time to read this. Any help or advice on this topic would be very much appreciated.
