Hi,

Is it likely that transmitters around this area will never broadcast the COM ? or will these eventually become available, also is the restriction due to the 's maximum .

Thanks

Hi Dave,

Very unlikely you or any that hasn't got them already will ever get them, as always its down to money & a lack of proper regulation.
