DP>I'm a Licensed Radio operator VE2OOX located in Canada I'm considering to   
   DP>purchase a PocketWizard Plus III Flash Trigger   
   DP>(http://plusiii.pocketwizard.com) for my Canon EOS 30D camera.   
      
      
   DP>The North America "FCC/IC models" operate on 340.00 - 354.00 MHz   
   DP>The European and all other markets "CE models" operate on 433.42 - 434.42 MH   
   DP>In North America, the 433 MHz band is reserved for HAM Radio Amateur, making   
   DP>the CE Model technically illegal to general users.  But myself being a   
   DP>licensed HAM Radio Operator I believe I should be fine with the CE model in   
   DP>Canada.   
      
   As I recall those devices are very low power and do not require a   
   licence. They do require FCC certificatio nthat they qualify for   
   unlicenced operation though.   
      
   DP>My question is how reliable the 433 CE Model would be in Canada?  In North   
   DP>America, is the 433 MHz more crowded with [Radio Amateur] Activity than 340   
   DP>MHz?   
   DP>In short, having the option of either, I'm trying to decided with which mode   
   DP>to go.  Any idea would be appreciated.   
      
   In the US all of the repeatter operation is between 442 and 450. 433 is   
   a simples frequency though but most activity woudl be low power   
   handhelds. Unless they were very close I woudl not expect any   
   interference with the 433 flash trigger
