More bull****ting, side-stepping and downright lying.

If the rigs are home designed and constructed then they are of
a type that is not approved.

Mr.Reay proves to be a silly-billy once again.

As a group, we should definitely _NOT_ be encouraging those who
have a licence issued under the gangrenous degeneration that
is the M3/CB Fools' Licence scheme one iota! Such people
are not Radio Hams by any stretch of the imagination.

Perhaps uk.rec.radio.cb, as a group, would be more appropriate?

Yes - an ideal road to go down but sadly somewhat restricted by the UK
Foundation Licence that only allows the use of type-approved equipment -
unless you propose you can gain type-approval for your design and
eventual product that will probably cost a lot more than a purchased
radio?!

The restriction isn't "type approved" transmitters- they can use
commercial
equipment designed for the amateur market (eg Yaesu et al) and those made
from commercial kits. The words "type approved" etc do not feature.
Plus, of course, as the newcomers progress there is the option of totally
home brew designs (ie not from kits). As a group, we should be
encouraging
M3s to progress so let us not get bogged down with this.
