Hi All, I've been tring exhaustively to try to resolve a query regarding the UHF CB Handhelds, but to no avail. Perhaps someone has some practival experience on this...
I am currently in Holland, and would like to buy a couple of handhelds, a range of up to 5 km's sould be ideal. I will return to Australia in 12 months, but would like to use them here in the meantime.
From what I know so far, the dutch have a frequency range for such a thing in the ranges, 443, 446. 491mhz, and the Australian ones are 476, 477mhz.
The handhelds I have considered are the digitalk and the uniden UH040.
Both at .05w output.
One supplier in Australia told me that the digitalk could be used on the 433mhz frequency, but I can't find any technical data anywhere to support this.
Can anyone comment on this.
Part 2 of the question, is: has anyone got experience in using the Australian units overseas. Is it potentially a problem using the Australian UHF CB walkies overseas (eg. Holland), and what are the chances of causing problems such that I would be detected and fined etc...
