Radio Certification was introduced by M.A.A.A. in a attempt to improve safety. It is Australia wide and recommended that Clubs adopt the program.

Radio Certification requires that the Transmitter and Receiver are tested by an M.A.A.A. registered radio testing station. After testing the tester attaches a sticker indicating the band width that the units are operating to. The stickers indicate band width by different colours and are also signed and dated by the tester. The cost of the test is around $20 to $30 per set.

The M.A.A.A. recommends that radios are tested when new, when changing hands or when involved in a crash or damaged.

Clubs have differing requirements. Some require yearly, some every two years and others three yearly. The choice it up to the Clubs.

It is recommended that you check with the Club you are considering joining to ensure that your equipment conforms to their requirements.

If you require your radio tested, contact a Testing Station to arrange for testing to be done.
