CB Radio: Portugal Goes Licence Free


News via the ECBF Portugal Facebook page last night is that as from 9th March 2017 CB radio no longer requires a licence in Portugal.


Good news is that operators no longer have to pay for a licence but just as in the UK some years ago, withdrawal of the licence means that the CB band is no longer protected against interference from other operators and electrical devices such as Powerline Adaptors.
