I don’t think the current frequency bands and power limits for ZA are correct. My sources are the following documents published this year: http://www.ellipsis.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/Guide-to-commonly-used-licence-exempt-frequency-bands-April-2015.pdf Specifically page 74 of http://www.ellipsis.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/Radio-Frequency-Spectrum-Regulations-2015.pdf The bands don’t quite match up and DFS/TPC is (apparently) not required for 5470 - 5725. More importantly, the max transmitted power seems to be 1W/30dBm e.i.r.p and not 27dBm. I would submit a complete patch, but I am not sure if the 5725 - 5875 band should be part of it… Regards Karl
