B314. The rules regarding the marketing of radio equipment in this country are almost non-existent and anyone can purchase a transceiver covering the air band. My amateur radio equipment covers from 100kHz to 450mHz and it would be possible for me to transmit pretty well anywhere in that range. I do not because I obey the law.

Until fairly recently huge numbers of cordless telephones operated illegally and it was great fun listening to all my neighbours talking on the amateur band where they should not have been!

It is also possible to buy cars and motorcycles that will do well over 100mph so why are they on sale in a country where the maximum speed is 70?
