You can find my signed-off-by tag below together= with=20 the unchanged patch. I can affirm I did check this carefully with the official documents of = the=20 German administration for radio equipment (Bundesnetzagentur f=FCr Elek= trizit=E4t,=20 Gas, Telekommunikation, Post und Eisenbahnen). I noticed that the links to the other entries for Germany are broken, a= s the=20 website design was changed and thus all old link became non functional.= I can=20 provide a patch fixing this if it is something that's considered useful= . The comments to my initial mail indicated that the statement in the ERC= =20 recommendation I linked are alone not enough to add this frequency rang= es for=20 other countries. Unfortunately I don't have the possibility to do these= checks=20 for countries other than Germany. If there is anything I can do to help adding the SRD entries for more=20= countries please let me know.
