    Yes...  If , as Howard stated above, you can provide them with proof it is legal to do so in your Country.

    This is not the best place to ask, As Howard said, try calling them,,or start a help ticket with your question...

    Tim has already told him on FRS's Facebook page that FRS will not open any Flex radio up for transmit on 11 meters.

    Makes sense. That article spoke to the fact that 11M had been opened up to unlicensed Citizens Band.

    SmartSDR V2.1.33 and below allows you to work on 11 meters for transmission, regardless of whether the turf is installed or not, and it is completely unclear why in versions above 2.2.8 this range was closed for transmission. I am downgrading to V2.1.33 and even with Turf installed for Russia, I have the opportunity to work at 27 MHz.

    Office answer.

    No regardless of where you are in the world.

    If you need 11M operation, 11M radios are very inexpensive.

    I'm no expert but, I believe you could technically use the XTVR port. I'm sure I will be corrected if that is not the case.
  • Administrator, FlexRadio Employee admin
    edited September 2019
    Correct.  You can transmit at low power on the XVTR port without frequency restrictions.
  • Member
    edited September 2019
    This is all wonderful, but why not leave a full-fledged transmission in this range if such a possibility exists in previous versions of the program, especially since this range is not licensed at all and  i can work even without registration

    Simple, Flex would love to advertise and sell a radio that has all band transmit. They'd destroy the competition hands down. But government agencies and the laws of the land forbid them from doing so. Same hold true with any number of "100 watt" radios. The manufacturers know they could get more power out, say 130 watts while the competition is only doing 100 watts. But the distortion products which are regulated by govt. agencies and the life of the radio would suffer. Check your local laws and see if you as an end user can legally modify a radio for out of band transmit. If you can't then how can Flex?

    It seems that I'm not writing in English))
    I repeat once again: In the Flex Radio software version up to V2.28, it is possible to work on the 11 m band. In  USA, have the laws changed, or for what reason can I not use Flex to transmit to 27 MHz  with V3.0 as before?
  • Member ✭✭

    I think that may have been a flaw in the software that has since been corrected.

    Same discussion going on reddit at the moment... CB radios are type certified, frequency and power limited. Flex is not type certified to use these bands. For the life of me I don’t understand how anyone would want to use CB bands after investing money and time in licensing and equipment.
  • Administrator, FlexRadio Employee admin
    edited September 2019
    Nope, not a flaw.  The long and short of it is that we brought our region based frequency descriptions into line with the regional authority (IARU).  In region 1, there is no mention of 11m for amateur radio use (https://www.iaru-r1.org/index.php/spectrum-and-band-plans/hf).

    Why should I buy additional equipment to work on 11 if I can use Flex Radio for this as before?

    There are many hams who deliberately do not switch to version higher than 2.2.8 due to the inability to work in the 11 meter range for transmission.
    Why not open this opportunity for those who are not forbidden to work at these frequencies, because for this you do not need to invent anything additionally, but do it as it was already done before. I like the stability and functionality of Flex Radio, but I absolutely do not understand the policy of limiting the rights and freedoms that they introduced with the new software.

    If there really are "many hams (that) deliberately do not switch to version higher than 2.2.8", which I severely doubt, then they must be of unsound mind. For who would sacrifice the gains of upgrading excellent ham radio software just to work CB? Why should you buy additional equipment? That question was already adequately answered. How onerous is it, considering the cheap stuff available for CB, to acquire something separate? Not at all. Love your Flex for what it is and what it was promoted for - excellence in the field of HAM RADIO.

    Igor, time to move on,,it's not going to happen. Asking Flex to transmit out of band? NOPE!!

    But what before version 2.2.8 did ARRL and the IARU allow work in the 11 meter range or did something change? ))) You can not answer.
  • Member ✭✭

    Igor,

    The ARRL is not an official agency or authority. It has absolutely no power to set or enforce rules.

    Many hams seem to think that the ARRL governs ham radio. They do not. They are a private organization that promotes ham radio. That's all they are.


  • Administrator, FlexRadio Employee admin

    Igor -- Actually, I can.  We are committed to keeping our frequency descriptions accurate and in line with authoritative allocations regardless of what ranges were available in earlier revisions.
  • Member
    edited September 2019 
    The aspirations to comply with the frequency distribution should not be to the detriment of previously installed in Flex devices, which did not violate regulatory documents in terms of Ham Radio communications and CB. Any amateur equipment can be disclosed for transmission in the CB range without problems and why this has become a problem with Flex is completely incomprehensible. All that is not forbidden is allowed!
