Guest nat cox Posted April 22, 2010 Report Share Posted April 22, 2010 im preety keen to buy a set of these trackers but iv been hearing storys that they are illegal and the fines are big Quote Link to comment
martin Posted April 22, 2010 Report Share Posted April 22, 2010 They become illegal when you turn them on because of the frequency they operate on. Cheers Martin Quote Link to comment
Dogmann Posted April 22, 2010 Report Share Posted April 22, 2010 The power at which they transmit is the problem. Too much power to fit within authorised limits. Do a search on the forum, been heaps on it before. Cheers. Quote Link to comment
MDBB Posted April 22, 2010 Report Share Posted April 22, 2010 They are illegal to operate in Australia and don't let anyone tell you they are not. They put out 20 times more power that is allowed, the max fine is $165,000.00 Quote Link to comment
linkrobbo Posted June 29, 2010 Report Share Posted June 29, 2010 so what would happen to your r licence if caught using the garmin in state forests? Quote Link to comment
boarbasher Posted June 29, 2010 Report Share Posted June 29, 2010 in my opinion mate but im no professional....i think they would class it as illegal hunting.....as you are using an item that has been deemed illegal....thats my 2 cents worth.... Quote Link to comment
