New Zealand’s regulator\u00a0RSM<\/strong>\u00a0reports:
\nIn August, we mentioned creating a prohibition notice for unrestricted two-way radios. This was to limit the availability to the general public for radios that don\u2019t meet the Radio Standards.<\/p>\n

The prohibition notice is ready to gazette and will come into effect on 18 October 2018.<\/p>\n

The notice will affect the supply of two-way radios like Baofeng, Pofung and Wouxun to the amateur market, but not equipment factory locked to the Amateur bands.<\/p>\n

Amateur radio operators or suppliers need to hold a ‘Licence to supply radio transmitters’ to import and supply this equipment.
\nWhen you\u2019ve received your Licence to supply number, email us at supply@rsm.govt.nz<\/a>. We\u2019ll add special conditions to your licence to allow the import and supply of this equipment.\u00a0 You\u2019ll need to supply us monthly returns of your imports and sales, including nil returns.<\/p>\n
