The VX426 webpage says "T/A Approved for CB and Land Mobile Use" but the brochure says that it's Receive-Only outside the CB channels ???"
I had a closer look at the brochure and it says:
(

"The VX-426 also has an extra 128 channels for commercial frequency programming, receive only.
Transmit on commercial frequencies requires a current licence"
I take that to mean that it is possible to program 128 extra commercial channels for both Rx AND Tx, although a licence is required.
And i guess it makes sense since they have two versions of programming software for this particular radio:
(off there website:
http://www.vxstd.com.au/cb/vx_426.html)
CE91: Programming Software (RX Only)
CE91F: Dealer Software (TX and RX)
I went and got one of these radios anyway - so far so good... now I just need to somehow get my hands on the programming cable and software.
