Hi dutchy,
I believe EU stands for approved for use in Europe. There is a different signal strength allowed than in the US. I guess you have the same regulations as EU ... if you order it in Australia you should be OK

This is from the Spektrum web page:
As stated above, it might be that Australia regulations are the same as for the European Union.

Spektrum DX7 Product Bulletin
It has been brought to our attention that some Spektrum DX7 transmitters and manuals sold to US retailers may have been mislabeled regarding compliance with European Union broadcast regulations. Manuals for Spektrum DX7 transmitters sold in the USA indicate that the DX7 currently meets European Union power-output standards. While units intended for sale in Europe meet EU output standards, this icon also appears in the manuals for units intended for sale in the US only. DX7 transmitters that are sold for use in the US exceed the power limits in place in the European Union. Running changes are being made to remove this icon from units and manuals that do not meet these stringent standards. To ensure you comply with broadcasting standards in your area, we are recommending you purchase your DX7 from within your specific region.
If you are an EU consumer and have purchased a radio from a retailer outside the EU prior to this notice and you suspect that your DX7 does not comply with the EC specifications, please contact Horizon Hobby UK’s service centre. If necessary, they will arrange for the re-programming of your radio to the correct EC specification. For further details please contact Horizon Hobby UK on [email protected] or telephone (0)1279 641097.

Not quite sure if I received the answer I`m asking!
I`ll ask an other way, is the Spectrum DX7EU suitable for Australian flying Regulations?
Does it fall under EU (I will be flying in mode1)

Hi!
It might be that you in Australia have the same regulations we have in Europe ...but I don't think anybody cares over here...we live in an Internet world today which means we buy whatever we like from what country we like. If our countries legislators cannot agree about something as simple as power output from a 2,4Ghz transmitter .... bad luck for them! Naturally we buy the transmitter set with the highest power output.

2.4 equipment for use in Australia should be marked with the C-Tick marking somewhere. My DX7 has it, cant say where as I am at work now.
"The M.A.A.A. does not require that any additional testing is undertaken on approved equipment. However to ensure compliance with the Class Licence and the Australian Radiocommunications Standards the equipment shall be identified as being traceable to those Standards by the application of an Australian “C Tick”. The “C-Tick” is a logo attached to the equipment that shows that the supplier takes the responsibility for compliance with, and traceability to, the Standards."
Check out the link below for much more than you ever wanted to know
