Can an Electronics & Radio Forum be introduced?

Yesterday I posted the following in the "Online Community Support" forum and Elizabeth Morgan (Web Producer - Engineering Communities) has suggested that I put this in the "Ask the Community" Forum to see how many others are interested in having an Electronics & Radio forum.


"Quite often posts relating to Electronics or Radio appear in "Wiring and the Regulations BS7671" and looking at the available choice of Forums, there does not appear to be an alternative?

In the UK there used to be the Institution of Electronic and Radio Engineers (IERE) which in 1988 merged with the Institution of Electrical Engineers (IEE) which of course became the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) in 2006."


So, I would be grateful if I can have some support.


Many thanks.

  • Clive,


    I can see why you want a forum on Electronics and Radio and I agree.  It seems to me that posts on such matters would not usually be within the scope of the "Wiring and the Regulations BS7671" forum.

    I see that there are forums, (perhaps not over-utilised) in the following IET Technical Communities:



    • IET Satellite Network - since, as you know, all but some of the earliest artificial satellites exist to provide or at least utilise radiocommunications links.


    As I glanced through the list of IET Engineering Communities just now, I did not notice any that obviously or specifically related to baseband electronics in general, as opposed to, e.g. Power Electronics, Mahines and Drives.


    I suppose that the forums that are not associated with IET Technical Network communities might be more easily noticed and so more likely to be accessed by anybody that does not belong to or that does not frequently access the technical communities' forums.

    I have not really used, let alone contributed much if at all to any of the above forums/fora and so I have the following question:

    What is the intended functional distinction between an IET Engineering Community forum and a forum that's listed directly under 'Forums' on the IET website?
