IMPORTANT INFORMATION CONCERNING UHF CB RADIO
The use of the Citizen Band radio service is licensed in Australia by the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) Radiocommunications (Citizens Band Radio Station
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 licenses.
The class license for users and equipment operating in the CB/PRS 477 MHz band was amended in 2011 to include 80 channels. This radio meets the 80 channel standard.
Further information and updates are available from the ACMA at www.acma.gov.au and the MED, Radio Spectrum Management at: www.RSM.govt.NZ
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 CH 5.
NOTE: 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, your radio has a
transmit-inhibit applied to channels 22 and 23. Currently, transmissions on channels 61, 62, and 63 are also inhibited and these channels are reserved for future use.
