UHF CB Channel Guidelines

NOTE

Always listen on a channel (or observe the receive signal level 

meter) to ensure it is not already being used before transmitting.

Channels 5 and 35 are used for emergency channels.

CTCSS and DCS will not operate on these channels.
Please follow these guidelines for channel use in Australia:

• Channels 05 and 35 are Emergency Channels.

• Channel 11 is a Calling Channel.

• Channels 22 and 23 are for telemetry and telecommand 

  applications, channels 61, 62 and 63 are for future use and TX is 

  inhibited on these channels.
General communication is accepted on all other channels

with these guidelines:

• Channel 40 - road channel (Australia).

• Channels 01-08 (and 31-38), and Channels 41-48

  (and 71-78) are repeater channels.

NOTE

Important information - 80 Channel UHF CB channel expansion

To provide all users additional channel capacity within the UHF CB 

Band. The ACMA will change the majority of the current wideband 40 

channel use to narrowband channel use. This allows for additional 

channels to be added, up to 80 Channels.

This simply means that the new narrowband radio you have purchased 

will have more channels than older radios. Please refer to the guidelines 

above and the channel chart for further channel information.
A list of currently authorised channels can also be obtained from the 

ACMA website in Australia and the MED website in New Zealand.

Interference / Poor Audio

When a new narrowband radio receives a signal from an older 

wideband radio the speech may sound loud - however the UH5000’s 

built-in AVS (Automatic Volume Stabilizer) circuitry will detect and 

manage incoming audio to comparable levels.

Narrowband radios operating on CH41 - CH80 may encounter 

interference from a nearby wideband radios transmitting on high 

power on an adjacent channel (frequency).
When an older wideband radio receives a signal from a new 

narrowband radio the speech may sound quiet  - the wideband radio 

user simply adjusts their radio volume for best performance.
The above situations are not a fault of the radio but a symptom of mixed 

wideband and narrowband radios in current use. It is expected that as 

older wideband radios are phased out this issue will be eliminated.
