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.

Thanks for clearing this up Brian.

I for one support the M3 licence scheme and the progress up the licence
classes to gain more skills and aid self-development.
