I am just saying the original article in this post you mentioned the devices are illegal, this is not the case. They are legal as they are also available and approved for use in Australia.

They do not require special licences to use them.
My first post regarding the 434MHz being amateur et al might have given you the impression that I made a sweeping statement about useage of LIPDs - I am sure I did not mentioned that the LIPDs were illegal in Alistairsam's case; especially in subsequent posts what I said was that it is illegal to transmit in the amateur bands IF you are not licensed to do so and I also clarified that it being an LIPD device that it was anyway alright to do so without any need for a licence since the device is already class-licensed.

The other matters might be OT but it was only in response to the OP that I elucidated the matters that he queried about

Cheers
Bill
