Whats the difference between licensed and licence-exempt radio equipment?
Licence-exempt equipment does not require a radio licence so there’s no need to provide technical information and pay a licence fee as you do with licensed equipment. Licensed radio equipment is entitled to some protection from interference. Licence-exempt equipment must not cause interference and is not protected from any interference it receives. Licensed radio equipment operates within an authorized area. Approved licence-exempt equipment can operate anywhere in Canada.
