EXPLICIT DEFINITIONS
OPERATING NOTES
BUSY CHANNEL
Always listen to a channel (or observe the channel busy indicator on the
display) to ensure that the channel is not already in use before transmitting.
CALLING CHANNELS
(CB-11,CB-40)
In Australia channel 11 is the customary calling channel for establishing
communication and channel 40 is the customary road vehicle channel.
EMERGENCY CHANNELS
(CB-05, CB-R5, CB-35)
In Australia except in an emergency, a CB transmitter must not be oper-
ated on UHF emergency channels 5 & 35.
NOTE:
if the Radio is switched off while on an Emergency channel,
the Radio when switched on again, will be on the (software preset
channel) CB-11.
DATA CHANNELS
(CB-22, CB-23)
No voice transmissions are permitted on data channels 22 and 23. (Note:
Voice operation is inhibited on channels 22 and 23).
REPEATER CHANNELS
(CB-R1 to CB-R8)
UHF CB repeaters provide greater range through a base station that re-
transmits the signal. Repeaters operate utilizing two channels (repeater
input/ repeater output channels). It is important to avoid operation on
locally used repeater input channels (which will be in the range channels
31 to 38) or locally used repeater receiving channels (which will be in
the range channels 1 to 8), unless long distance communication via the
repeater facility is specifi cally required. (Please also see: Repeater Op-
eration, Repeater Search Scan).
