I'm looking at the document you reference as translated by Google, and
I'm not seeing anything there to support these changes. I can't find any
reference to ETSI 300 440-1. The section which would appear to apply
here (article 2 paragraph o) references Annex 11 for permitted frequency
bands, and this does not include the range that you're adding.

I didn't read the document in its entirety though, so I may have missed
something. If so, could you please point me to the specific section
which would permit operation in that range?

Thanks,
Seth
