Description

Australia's 433MHz ISM band (433.05-434.79 MHz) currently has no compliant Meshtastic region.

As I understand it, under ACMA LIPD Class Licence, no individual licence is required for:

• Frequency: 433.05 - 434.79 MHz
• Power: 25mW EIRP max (≈14 dBm)
• No duty cycle restrictions (continuous operation OK)
• radiolocation is the primary service, amateur radio and LIPD are secondary use.

• ACMA Technical Standards
• Discussion on 433MHz limits in AU

Basically similar to existing MY_433 but with lower power.
