IMPORTANT NOTICE

2.4GHZ Transmitters

Members with 2.4GHZ radios must be made aware that they make sure that any radio gear that they use to control flying machines is certified and bought from a reputable supplier for use in this country . Insurance could be cancelled if found that radio equipment being used is not to the standard set by law.

With the relaxing of importing restrictions, it is reported that some flying members across the country are importing / buying radio equipment that is not certified or not allowed to be used in this country. Some radio gear from USA uses higher output signals up to 200milliwatts. For this country, is it limited by law to 100milliwatts. Some types of radio gear are switch able from inside the transmitter between the two ranges which again if set to the high signal strength is against the law.
