[Elecraft] 4M operation and 4M/2M modules

[David Pratt]

Yes, Dennis, you may indeed operate on the 70.0-70.5MHz band when 
operating in the UK under the terms and conditions of the CEPT Licence. 
For Full Licence holders the maximum PEP is 160 Watts (22 dBW) and for 
Intermediate Licence holders the maximum PEP is 50 Watts (17 dBW). The 
band is Secondary; Available on the basis of non-interference to other 
services inside or outside the UK.

Grab a copy of the CEPT Licence (T/R 61-01) from
http://www.erodocdb.dk/docs/doc98/official/pdf/TR6101.pdf

The UK Licence Terms, conditions and limitations are at

I cannot comment on swapping the KX3 transverters from 2m to 4m, but I 
recall reading somewhere that it will not be a 5 minute job.

I hope that helps.
