Had a play with an R5 at Bathurst last year and was impressed by it. Couldn't use half the functions it had without reading the manual. Loved the fact it was programable using a PC (especially when I had to program 20 of them for rental purposes).
Aussie teams use UHF (450-510MHz) while tracks use either UHF or VHF (150-165MHz).
BFC is correct about scanners being frowned upon down under but what they haven't realised is that some of the radios issued can be set up to scan multiple channels (instant scanner).
A recent race meeting the compulsary "Safety Briefing" even mentioned the "new" photo taking mobile phones available down 'ere.
