5.8GHz A/V transmission equipment (Jaycar AR1840) Removed from Shelves...

Hi Everyone, Jaycar removed the AR1840 5.8GHz A/V Sender/ receiver from their Shelves a few weeks ago, It turned out that the Band is limited for Digital Signals only, So now they are saying its ok to Sell them , but to advise the Customer that they do not comply with the ACME class license requirements for this band. The regulations specify digital transmissions only on this band. The AR1840 A/V sender does not therefore carry c-tick compliance.

They Say it's not currently illegal to offer the AR1840 for sale providing a point of sale tag is displayed to help make people aware of this.

Would that be correct? That there is no control on what anyone sells, providing the customer is informed? I suppose the difference is only the type of signal, i.e. Digital vs. Analogue so may be that's only a small thing, as compared to a unit being of too high power output or poor quality transmitter.

Thanks Allan

** Not very likely.

The penalty on a company supplying a "non-standard device" is a fine of up to $1.5M.

** See above - $1.5M is a big fine.

The fine for possessing such a device with intension to operate it is the same:

A "non standard device" is one that dos not comply with the relevant ACMA standard:

"Alan Rutlidge" rules are a good example of the inconsistency from state to state.

Ah, everyone wants some power and its execution it would seem. We not only have federal and state governments making different laws to control you life, municipal councils do it as well. With hundreds of different local councils, the war between Commonwealth and states pales by comparison.

Thanks, I do get a chuckle from the misuse of sayings such as this :-)

** Given that a "penalty unit" is a bit s over $100

- the max fine is a mere $ 150,000.

Nothing to get too worried about .......

I can weigh into this one a bit, I spoke to Jaycar Techstore regarding these yesterday, and yes they were recalled, but apparently they were incorrect in recalling them and that they in fact were operating in the correct band, and are 100% legal. That's what they told me anyway.

Cheers Adam

** Here is the Class License doc that covers the case in question:

$file/RadcomLIPDClassLic2000.pdf

No 19 covers the usual AV senders on 2.4 GHz to 10mW output - since it is for " all transmitters ".

5.8 GHz is reserved to RC, telemetry and RF ID equipment.
