Everyone's radio
Jedermannfunk is a collective term for radio applications that can be used without proof of needs or testing. These radio applications are not limited to closed user groups , as is the case with commercial radio . The frequencies made available are assigned as general assignments for use by the general public.
In contrast to the amateur radio service , however, only devices with a specific approval are permitted here, which the user must not change. In addition, the performance of the radio equipment and the type of frequency use (channel spacing and bandwidth , types of modulation ) are subject to strict restrictions.
In Germany, the following five radio applications are currently approved for the general public:
In addition, the transmission of digital data is permitted on certain channels in CB radio .
Other frequency ranges can also be used for the transmission of data or control information, for example with radio thermometers, wireless headphones, Bluetooth or even with the radio remote control of models, central locking systems etc. They are usually not assigned to the public radio (compare ISM-Band - Industrial , Scientific and Medical Band).
Radio in motor vehicles
In Germany, the operation of a transceiver system ( commercial radio , BOS radio , amateur radio , everyone's radio, cell phone / cell phone / car phone ) in motor vehicles (from year of construction 1995) is only permitted if an external antenna with an E-mark is installed in accordance with the manufacturer's guidelines, otherwise it can if the vehicle electronics are affected, the general operating permit (ABE) expires.
The so-called mobile phone ban ( Section 23 (1a ) of the StVO ) also applies to the use of radio devices. Due to Section 52 (4) StVO, the ban will only apply from July 1, 2020. According to Section 35 (9) StVO, authorized users of the BOS radio (e.g. police , fire brigade , rescue service ) are exempt from the ban if no co-driver is present is.
Everyone's radio abroad
Frequency ranges for everyone's radio applications are often only assigned uniformly nationally or across Europe. If you want to use your devices abroad, you should find out beforehand whether you can use the devices and frequencies there for everyone's radio applications. Conversely, the same applies to devices purchased abroad (for example on vacation or on the Internet), some of which are not approved in Germany and may not be operated. Information on the frequency ranges permitted in Germany can be obtained from the Federal Network Agency (BNetzA).
