Dear Cody,

 

On behalf of the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment I
acknowledge your email of 11/12/21 requesting under the Official
Information Act 1982 (the Act), the following:

 

“In the context of “Radiocommunications Regulations (Prohibited Equipment
– Unrestricted Two Way Radio) Notice 2018”, specifically the following
section:

“Radio equipment or part thereof capable of being front panel or computer
programmed by the user onto any frequency outside the frequency range
prescribed in the amateur radio licence or replacement thereof ,
including, but not limited to, the following makes and models:

Baofeng

Wouxun

Pofung”

Does the inclusion of “including, but not limited to” in the above notice,
or more broadly, extend to mean that a software defined radio (SDR) may
also be prohibited?”

 

Your request is being processed in accordance with the Act and a response
will be sent to you in due course.

 

Please note that the days from 25 December 2021 to 15 January 2022
(inclusive) are defined as non- working days in the Act and are not
counted in the calculation of the maximum timeframe for our response to
your request. This will affect the time period for responding to your
request.
