1981 No. 29 CUSTOMS (PROHIBITED IMPORTS) REGULATIONS (AMENDMENT) - REG 1

After regulation 4L of the Customs (Prohibited Imports) Regulations the
following regulation is inserted: Importation of radiotelephony equipment

"4M. (1) In this regulation, 'prescribed radiotelephony equipment' means-

   (a)  single sideband amplitude modulation radiotelephony equipment;

   (b)  double sideband amplitude modulation radiotelephony equipment; or

   (c)  single and double sideband amplitude modulation radiotelephony
        equipment, that transmits on frequencies selected by means of a
        frequency selector switch and by no other means.

"(2) For the purposes of this regulation, prescribed radiotelephony equipment
shall be taken to deliver excessive transmitter output power if the
transmitter output power of the equipment, when delivered to an
impedance-matched radio frequency load, is capable of exceeding-

   (a)  in the case of single sideband transmission-12 watts peak envelope
        power; or

   (b)  in the case of double sideband transmission-4 watts carrier power.

"(3) The importation into Australia of prescribed radiotelephony equipment
that is capable of being used to transmit on a number of separate carrier
frequencies exceeding 12 one at least of which is a frequency in the range
above 26 megahertz and below 27.8 megahertz, being equipment-

   (a)  that delivers excessive transmitter output power; or

   (b)  on which transmission on a carrier frequency in the range above 26
        megahertz and below 27.8 megahertz other than a permissible carrier
        frequency is not prevented by means of-

        (i)    an electronic component; and

        (ii)   the frequency selector switch, is prohibited.

"(4) The importation into Australia of prescribed radiotelephony equipment
that is capable of being used to transmit on a number of separate carrier
frequencies not exceeding 12, being equipment-

   (a)  that delivers excessive transmitter output power; or

   (b)  on which transmission on a carrier frequency in the range 27.015
        megahertz to 27.225 megahertz (inclusive) other than a permissible
        carrier frequency is not prevented by means of-

        (i)    an electronic component; and

        (ii)   the frequency selector switch, is prohibited.

"(5) A reference in sub-regulations (3) and (4) to a permissible carrier
frequency shall be read as a reference to a carrier frequency specified in the
following table:
