   433 MHz Remote Triggers

   Hi All,   
      
   I'm a Licensed Radio operator VE2OOX located in Canada I'm considering to   
   purchase a PocketWizard Plus III Flash Trigger   
   (http://plusiii.pocketwizard.com) for my Canon EOS 30D camera.   
      
      
   The North America "FCC/IC models" operate on 340.00 - 354.00 MHz   
   The European and all other markets "CE models" operate on 433.42 - 434.42 MHz    
   In North America, the 433 MHz band is reserved for HAM Radio Amateur, making   
   the CE Model technically illegal to general users.  But myself being a   
   licensed HAM Radio Operator I believe I should be fine with the CE model in   
   Canada.   
      
   My question is how reliable the 433 CE Model would be in Canada?  In North   
   America, is the 433 MHz more crowded with [Radio Amateur] Activity than 340   
   MHz?    
   In short, having the option of either, I'm trying to decided with which model   
   to go.  Any idea would be appreciated.
