The situation for Foundation kit built transmitters remained essentially the same, there had never been any compliancy requirements for kits neither had there been any definition on what comprised a kit, which allowed considerable flexibility e.g. a bare PCB and a circuit diagram could constitute a kit. Transmitting equipment capable of operating in non-amateur bands was permitted as long as no transmissions were made out of authorised amateur bands. There were no power restrictions on the transmitting equipment that could be built, a Foundation holder was permited to build a 100 watt transceiver but they would have to turn the power down to what in 2006 was 10 watts to be able to use it on-air | + | * No longer had to use CE approved transmitting equipment.
