Transmitting Range
The
talk range will depend on your surroundings and environment it will be affected by obstructions such as hills or
buildings.
Don’t try to use two radio units which are less than 1.5m (5 feet) apart. Otherwise, you may experience interference.
Talk range depends on the terrain. It will be affected by concrete structures, heavy foliage and by operating radios indoors
or in vehicles.
Channel 5 and 35 (paired for Duplex repeaters) are reserved as emergency channels and should be used only in an
emergency. CTCSS and DCS will not operate on channels 5 and 35.
A list of currently authorised channels can be obtained from the ACMA website in Australia and the MED website in
New Zealand. Channel 11 is a calling channel generally used to call others and channel 40 is the customary road vehicle
channel.
Once contact is established on the calling channel, both stations should move to another unused “SIMPLEX” channel
to allow others to use the calling channel.
Channels 22 and 23 are for Telemetry and Telecommand use, voice communications are not allowed on these channels
by law. Channel 9 and above are the best choices for general use in Simplex mode.
