Default Can Spektrum radios be used in any country?

I want a DX 2.0 Specky but in Australia they are around $300-$400. I can get one from Amain for around $200au. Just wondering if they can be used in Australia (like is their a different frequency for these things for each country?) Found out a pricey JR radio I bought last year cannot be used as its on the 75mhz frequency and that channel is illegal over here. (27 and 29mhz only, $200 down the drain)

Any help welcome

Private use of the 2.4gHz band is legal in all countries

While DSM does not use channels in the same way AM and FM radios do, that statement isnt entirely correct. It uses a spread spectrum technology. If there were 'channels' assigned to 2.4GHZ these radios would use multiple channels at the same time.

Anyway, many things use 2.4GHZ: cordless phones, wireless internet access points... lots of things. So I would not say it is leagal in every country, but I am sure it is in most. Since you can buy one in OZ, they are obviously legal there. You should be able to purchase one from anywhere.
