Lynne T Posted July 6, 2017 Report Share Posted July 6, 2017 Hello group. I once was able to look up laws and licensing for using wireless mics in the UK here: http://www.jfmg.co.uk/ But that link is no longer active. Can anyone help shed some light on what a visiting recordist needs to do when shooting in the UK? This document has been helpful: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1vPn_iMiK1ux6aWtnh5fGphATnNj-dBnVtfDW8ZaE9LE/edit#gid=0 but am wondering if I still need to purchase a license etc? Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Thomas Posted July 7, 2017 Report Share Posted July 7, 2017 It's now ofcom who deal with the licenses directly: https://www.ofcom.org.uk/manage-your-licence/radiocommunication-licences/pmse All pretty much the same, coordinated licenses on ch38, site specific ones available on most other frequencies (although the 700band is now being sold off) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're visiting as part of a job then I suggest you buy the licence and invoice it - no cost to you. I've only ever once seen anyone checking radio frequencies, and that was for a practice event before the Olympics. But the risk is always there.
