Radio frequencies allowed for model use in New Zealand. There are 2 main groups to consider: surface and air. Some frequencies can be used for both surface and air applications. The body that govern the use of radio frequncies in New Zealand is the Radio Spectrum Management Group. For a relevant government document for NEW ZEALAND only go to the following site and download rfs29.pdf http://www.med.govt.nz/rsm/publications/equip_stds.html Or click on the following link. Download http://www.med.govt.nz/rsm/publications/equip_stds/rfs29.pdf Contact details for the Radio Spectrum Management Group can be found in the document. Basically it breaks down in the following table |

*40.790 According to Model Fliers world magazine (And several other people I've spoken to) this frequency is not a dedicated Air frequency and may be used for either surface or air. This is not what the RSMG document says. Maybe it's wrong. NB 75MHz radios that are available in the US for ground use are not legal in NZ! The 73.000 to 88.000 MHz slots are not covered in the downloadable document (above) so I called the Radio Spectrum Management Group in Wellington NZ to ask them about it. If it is not covered in the document then they are not allocated and therefore are not allowed. The 72MHz radios between 72.250 and 73.000MHz can be used here for surface or air use. Disclaimer. |
