Hi Tom,

Looks like a great price (currently $USD14.95 for those that miss the sale
price on that URL), but I don't think these are legal in Australia.

http://www.aca.gov.au/aca_home/legislation/radcomm/class_licences/lipd.rtf

The only entry I could find which which overlaps that range is item 37,
450-500.99373MHz @3.5nW (yeah, nanowatts!), and it's specifically for
communications underground.

In Australia the equivalent "personal use/non CB" walkie talkies operate
around 433MHz (item 17)

Cheers.
