Good price. Do you sell chargers? Although I doubt the missus' mp3 diskman
will run on 2.4v instead of 3v.

Ah... but *who* told you?

I bet it wasn't anyone in the aviation industry or who is responsible
for policing the RF spectrum here in NZ right?

The GPS frequencies are:

L1 = 1.559 - 1.6025 GHz
L2 = 1.215 - 1.240 GHz
L5 = 1.164 - 1.188 GHz

The transmitters you're selling will operate on any of four
frequencies:

Channel 1 = 1.08 GHz
Channel 2 = 1.12 GHz
Channel 3 = 1.16 GHz
Channel 4 = 1.20 Ghz

So, as you can see, the Ch4 frequency lies between L5 and L2 and the
Ch3 frequency is just below L5.

Given that these transmitters are not particularly "clean" (built to a
price), they do tend to create quite a bit of sideband splatter that
will affect a nearyby GPS unit.

How do I know this?

Because I've got a 1500mW unit that I was planning to use in the
cruise missile project but as soon as you turn it on using Ch 3 or Ch
4 (even 100m away) the GPS drops out.

If you take a look at the NZ RF spectrum allocation table at:

http://www.med.govt.nz/rsm/planning/uhf.html

you'll see that the chunk of spectrum from 960 MHz through 1.215 GHz
is reserved for "Aeronautical radionavigation" -- including GPS and
DME.

Using these transmitters in NZ is very much illegal I'm afraid. You
ought to inform whoever it was that told you otherwise that they
really don't have a clue.

If you want to import these wireless cameras, I recommend that you
stick to the 2.4 GHz gear which operates in a license-free portion of
spectrum set aside for Short Range Devices which is detailed at:
http://www.med.govt.nz/rsm/licensing/gurls/gurl-srd.pdf

This indicates that you'll be able to sell and use equipment on the
2.4 GHz = 2.4835 GHz band with a maximum effective radiated power of 1
Watt.

These are the Eveready 1800mAH ones and The Warehouse sells them for
about $7.50 per packet of two.

Dude, get yourself a proper address.

Commercial activity on a Hotmail account is a violation of their ToS and
they DO nuke accounts quickly if someone complains - they regard the type
of posting you just made as commercial activity.

You really don't want to risk that.

Huh? The ones I've seen all run at 2450MHz

Selling them in NZ is too, even if in legal bands, if they don't have type
approval.

I'm surprised RFS haven't already popped up and taken action on it.

(Hint, they will if someone complains about it...)

It was asked for where to get them, so not really a plug, but he was very
honest saying it was a mate.

nope... but sometimes to be more accurate you'll see dude and dudette used
