(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: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Carrier frequency measured in megahertz ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- 27.015 27.055 27.095 27.125 27.165 27.195 27.025 27.065 27.105 27.135 27.175 27.205 27.035 27.085 27.115 27.155 27.185 27.225 ". ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- - NOTES 1981 No. 29*1* CUSTOMS (PROHIBITED IMPORTS) REGULATIONS*2* (AMENDMENT) *1* Notified in the Commonwealth of Australia Gazette on 12 March 1981. *2* Statutory Rules 1956 No. 90 as amended by 1958 Nos. 6 and 67; 1959 Nos. 17, 31 and 93; 1960 No. 22; 1961 No. 117; 1962 No. 82; 1963 No. 26; 1964 Nos. 25 and 39; 1965 Nos. 81, 91, 135, 167 and 190; 1966 No. 95; 1967 Nos. 41, 58, 114 and 178; 1968 Nos. 100, 141 and 161; 1969 Nos. 2, 7, 10, 39, 43 and 218; 1970 Nos. 8, 72, 105 and 194; 1972 No. 97; 1973 Nos. 5, 6, 42, 43, 89, 93, 162, 175, 217, 227, 228 and 262; 1974 Nos. 123 and 249; 1975 Nos. 58, 62, 121, 172 and 183; 1976 Nos. 98, 159, 186 and 291; 1977 Nos. 18, 23, 24, 59, 67 and 162; 1978 No. 276; 1979 Nos. 145, 155 and 280; 1980 Nos. 71, 78, 150, 211, 368, 376, 380 and 382.
