i. The use of the citizen band radio service is licenced in
Australia by the ACMA Radiocommunications (Citizens
Band Radio Stations) Class Licence and in New Zealand
by the Ministry of Economic Development (MED) General
User Radio Licence for Citizen Band Radio and operation
is subject to conditions contained within these licences.
ii. Always listen on a channel (or observe the channel busy
indicator) to ensure it is not already being used before
transmitting.
iii. In Australia, channel 11 is the customary calling channel
for establishing communication. Channel 40 is the
customary road vehicle channel.
iv. In Australia, except in an emergency, a CB transmitter shall
not be operated on UHF emergency channels 5 and 35.
v. No voice transmissions are permitted on data channels 22
and 23 (voice operation is inhibited on these channels).
vi. The user of this UHF CB communications device shall
not transmit Selcall tones for longer than 3 seconds
during any 60 second period.
vii. UHF CB repeaters extend the operational range of your
radio. Repeaters operate utilising two channels (repeater
input/repeater output). It is important to avoid operation
on locally used repeater input channels (in the channel
range of 31 to 38 and 71 to 78) or locally used repeater
output channels (in the channel range of 1 to 8 and 41 to
48), unless long distance communication via the repeater
is specifically required. See the section on repeater
operation (ADVANCED MANUAL) for more information.
viii Please be aware that the UHF CB network may
experience possible operational issues during the
changeover to narrowband. This transceiver operates on
12.5 kHz channel spacing. During the changeover period
from 25 kHz to 12.5 kHz spacing, there may be some
loss of quality when 12.5 kHz (narrowband, 2.5 kHz
deviation) transmissions are received on 25 kHz (wide
band, 5.0 kHz deviation) equipment, and vice-versa.
There may also be interference due to older equipment
being operated on channels adjacent to new narrowband
channels, as the channel setting on these may cause
some ‘overlap’. A list of currently authorised channels
can be found on the ACMA website (Australia) and on
the MED website in New Zealand.
