UK Wireless Microphone Licence

UHF
(1 year or 2 year licence)

Channel 38 is available on shared non protected basis from 606.500 - 613.500 MHz but is subject to geographic restrictions until the end of 2012. Licensees may use any frequencies within this range however their availability in each location must be confirmed through our Channel 38 Look-up tool prior to use. 

Ofcom recognises that Channel 38 will not be fully available throughout the UK until the end of 2012 and so has also included temporary access to channels 39 and 40 in those areas where it is not until completion of DSO. Channel 38 licensees are required to use our Ch38 Look-up tool to check exactly what can be used at their location prior to operation.

Access to Channel 39 and Channel 40 on this basis will be removed from the UHF UK Wireless Microphone Licence once DSO has completed at the end of 2012.

Channel 69 is still available to use on the following pre-defined frequencies but will be removed at the end of 2012. Please see our DSO pages for more info.
