ETSI EN 300 296 covers the minimum characteristics considered necessary in order to avoid harmful interference and to make acceptable use of the available frequencies.

The present document applies to equipment with integral antennas, used in angle modulation systems in the land mobile service, operating on radio frequencies between 30 MHz and 1 000 MHz, with channel separations of 12,5 kHz, 20 kHz and 25 kHz, and is intended primarily for analogue speech.

In the present document different requirements are given for the different radio frequency bands, channel separations, environmental conditions and types of equipment, where appropriate.

The present document is complementary to ETSI EN 300 086 [i.6], which covers radio equipment with an internal or external RF connector, for use in the land mobile service.

The present document may apply to PMR446 equipment as defined in [i.7]. Note that PMR446 equipment has a requirement to incorporate a receiver and may have requirements for 180 s maximum transmission time and VOX.
