PS - Our proposed Foundation Licence which should come in next year will
only permit the use of "unmodified transmitting equipment of commercial

Well, the difference in the US is that CB is now effectively
license-free (I think the legal side-stepping is that you have a license
by virtue of having the equipment). Makes it interesting when the FCC
wants to deal with a CB'er with a 1kW linear and "extra channels" up
into the VHF bands.
