Many of the cheep cheep chinee radios are fine to purchase and there are any amount being imported and retailed quite legally in Australia BUT there are also sets with the exact same model designation that are not legal...

The excerpt from ACMA above appears to be specifically directed at the frequency range of one radio specified in the reply and does not apply across all models. So, if you are buying on Ebay (esp from Overseas) check that they are the "Australian" compliance model and, for example, capped at 480 Mhz have CE etc etc. The various manuf have different firmware locking the freq's for the various markets around the world but don't bother to change the model designators.

Anyway, as Agronaught says not worth arguing over, just be aware that the differences between legal and illegal in the radios on the market can be very subtle indeed and any Q's should be directed straight to ACMA as was done above.
