Emergency Channels
The ACMA has allocated channels 5/35 for emergency use only. Channel 5 is the primary Simplex
Emergency Channel. Where a channel 5 repeater is available, you should select Duplex on channel 5.
Channel 35 is the input channel for the channel 5 repeater. Therefore channel 35 should also
not be used for anything other than emergency transmissions.
Telemetry Channels
ACMA regulations have allocated channels 22 and 23 for telemetry-only applications and have
prohibited the transmission of speech on these channels. Consequently the radio has a transmit-
inhibit applied to channels 22 and 23.
In the event that additional telemetry/telecommand channels are approved by the ACMA, these
channels shall be added to those currently listed where voice transmission is inhibited. Currently,
transmissions on channels 61, 62 and 63 are also inhibited and these channels are reserved for
future allocation.
