RC frequencies for Australia

[General explanation of rc frequencies & channels]

This page gives the rc frequencies and their associated channel numbers in use in Australia.
There are 4 frequency bands available for radio controlled use, these are:

Frequency use may vary from club to club with regards to which models use which of the above bands.
The 40MHz band is used the least, due to potential interference from two-way radios and paging systems.
