<p>Many countries stipulate that wireless weather equipment must
transmit on specific radio frequencies. In many cases, only an
authorized reseller can provide the proper wireless product
for their country. Products made for sale in the U.S.A. and
Canada cannot be legally used in the EU, Australia, New
Zealand, and many other countries who follow different
guidelines.</p>

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.<br>
If one purchases equipment using radio from the States, one needs to
specify Australian Frequencies.<br>
