I have the opportunity to purchse some cheap UHF handhelds here in the US. My concern is that they will not be compatable with the UHF radios we have at
home. Can anyone tell me what the 40 channel frequencies are, or where to find the info. Everything I have found so far just tells me the channel numbers not the frequencies. Perhaps somone has already done this and can tell me by experience if they are compatable.
Cheers
Craig

Check the power outputs (after the applicable frequencies as mentioned above).....
there are hoards of cheap UHF's about in various retail outlets but many of them are .5 and 1 watt - under trying circumstances, many of these are next to useless.
GME here in Oz, plus Uniden (and others) make handheld UHF's that go up to 5 watts ....
check the models....depending on the brand/model they start around A$350 and go up to around A$500. While they all have low power mode, on high they would of course drain the batteries quickly - some have special reachargeables within - others take AA. There are some on eBay but the bids are getting too close to new for
mine.
