In the UK, use of wireless microphone systems requires a Wireless Telegraphy Act license, except for the license free bands of 173.8–175.0 MHz and 863–865 MHz, sometimes referred to as "Channel 70" (This is not to be confused with TV Channel 69, which was 854–862 MHz. In the UK Channel 69 frequencies always required a license from JFMG Ltd.[16] Use of Channel 69 is no longer permitted and licences are no longer available for that band.)
