You might like to call ACMA and check to see if your MRO Stage2 does give you a waiver to get some type of ham licence - I know that most electrical/electronic engineers with a Bsc degree get straight into the Advanced Licenced without having to sit the full exam except the "Regulations" portion only
Yep you're right, with the very low EIRP from these devices it is already a class-licenced product anyway (on the proviso that it operates on the allowed freq) and you do not need to worry about using it freely

I did attend the Marine Radio officers course and passed the stage2 morse code exam at 20wpm.
but to get back to these modules, i'm guessing there is some sort of a generic license and not necessarily a ham license, as these are essentially like garage door transmitters or car keyless entry transmitters.
will keep looking. thanks.
