PLBs and Nautilus Lifeline in Fiji

[kelemvor]

Before considering the purchase and importation of radio transmitters, cordless and cellular phones, and similar equipment, check with the Telecommunications Authority of Fiji that the devices meet Fiji technical standards.

How bizarre. I hope Lorenzoid is correct. Otherwise, Fiji customs likely has millions of confiscated smartphones stored somewhere. I don't know anyone who travels without a phone these days. Maybe Fiji has a website where you can buy used iPhone 10 and Galaxy S9 phones at discount prices?

Visited Fiji few years ago. Didn't carry any PLBs or radio transmitters with us so no help here.
Don't recall any warning from travel agent regarding potential issues at customs with radio/cell devices.

@Lorenzoid - Did you make it to Fiji? Any problems with radios/PLBs?

 

[Lorenzoid]

My PLB caught no attention. What they ARE concerned about is agricultural contamination. Don't bring snacks off the plane.

Both my PLB and Nautilus Lifeline got into Fiji. However, the regulator for my Spar Air didn't make it back to the US...

Please explain.

I took the Spare Air regulator off the cylinder, and placed it into a Ziplock bag. Both items were in my checked baggage. When I unpacked my gear, I discovered the regulator was missing from my bag.

Sorry to hear that. Sounds like theft...

I took both a PLB and a Lifeline last summer. I don't know if they saw them, but if they did they certainly didn't do anything about it.
