IMPORTANT INFORMATION CONCERNING UHF CB RADIO
The use of the Citizen Band radio service is licensed in Australia by the ACMA
Radio communications (Citizens Band Radio Stations) Class Licence and in New
Zealand by the Ministry of Economic Development New Zealand (MED). A General
User Radio Licence for Citizens Band radio and operation is subject to conditions
contained in those licences. The class licence for users and equipment operating
in the CB/PRS 477 MHz band has been amended. This radio meets the new 80
channel standard.
In simple terms the same amount of spectrum is available; however, radio
transceivers can now operate in a narrower bandwidth and hence use less
spectrum per channel. These radios are generally referred to as narrowband
or 12.5 kHz radios. By using 12.5 kHz channel spacing instead of 25 kHz, the
40 channels originally allocated can now be expanded to 80 channels thereby
doubling the channel capacity and relieving congestion in the UHF CB/PRS band.
Older 40 channel wideband radios will continue to operate on the original 40
channels, however they will not be able to converse on the newer channels 41 –
80. The newer narrowband radios will be able to converse with all older 40 channel
wideband radios on all channels 1 – 40 as well as the newer channels allocated
from 41 – 80.
