i was looking for interference to scopes but did learnt quite a bit.
given that these devices are freely and legally available from australian suppliers, is it acma that prohibits those two frequencies from being used in australia?
only downside is that the max power allocated for these two frequencies is in micro watts.

ACMA allow these products in an open spectrum for low power device. They still need to conform to Australian Standards but they have a difference compliance acceptance. This makes it easy to allow them in Australia hence the reason they they are cheap.
I have used these products on many occasion, commonly used to transmit serial data. Still need and interface board to get them working may be able to find something which combines both so there is little set-up required.
One of my suppliers was this company, noticed they now sell direct -
