An acquaintance of mine, recently had a discussion with a Radio 
Inspector who was looking for the source of interference to Mobile Phone 
services. It seems that the American frequencies in use for WX stations 
and other equipment, are in our Mobile Phone band. My acquaintance 
wasn't involved, the local farmers imported pump equipment was. His fate 
is unknown.
If one purchases equipment using radio from the States, one needs to 
specify Australian Frequencies.
