Radio Licence Exemption (Licence Exemption)
This is low-power radio equipment meeting certain conditions not requiring a separate licence document to be obtained and a usage fee to be paid for its use. The exemption depends on the equipment class and is conditional: compliance with the relevant regulation and technical criteria is mandatory.
The way to describe the exemption correctly is to build the sentence with its condition. Saying that no licence is required for these remote controls in Turkey is incomplete; the correct statement is that no licence document and usage fee are required for equipment that complies with the short range radio equipment regulation and meets the technical criteria.
Typical situations that void the exemption:
- Replacing the antenna with a high-gain model and pushing the radiated power above the limit.
- Trying to increase range by adding an amplifier to the device.
- Using a product that operates outside the band defined for the equipment class.
- Transmitting continuously beyond the duty cycle limit.
These items are not only a regulatory matter; they also degrade the range and response time of other users sharing the same band. If the range is not enough, the solution is not to increase power but to correct the antenna placement, move the receiver away from the interference source and, if necessary, choose a more suitable set.
