You can find my signed-off-by tag below together with the unchanged patch. I can affirm I did check this carefully with the official documents of the German administration for radio equipment (Bundesnetzagentur f?r Elektrizit?t, Gas, Telekommunikation, Post und Eisenbahnen). I noticed that the links to the other entries for Germany are broken, as the website design was changed and thus all old link became non functional. I can 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 recommendation I linked are alone not enough to add this frequency ranges for other countries. Unfortunately I don't have the possibility to do these checks for countries other than Germany. If there is anything I can do to help adding the SRD entries for more countries please let me know.
