Licenses for Repeater Channels 44 & 45 will not be licensed for an additional 6 to 12 months to allow extra time for owners of Channel 5 Emergency repeaters to upgrade equipment to meet the new standards





Channels 1 to 8 and 41 to 48 - Repeater Channels Press the DUPLEX button on your radio to used any available repeaters

Channel 5 & 35 - Emergency use only - Monitored by Volunteers, No general conversations are to take place on this channel

Channels 22 & 23 - Data transmissions only (Excluding Packet)

Channels 31 to 38 and 71 to 78 - Repeater inputs - Do not use these channels for simplex transmissions as you will interfere with conversations on channels 1 to 8 and 41 to 48




The Australian Government has legislated that channels 5 & 35 on the UHF CB Band are reserved for emergency use only

As at January 2007 the maximum penalties for the misuse of the legally allocated CB emergency channels are: •For general misuse - if an individual 2 years imprisonment, otherwise $165,000 (a $220 on-the-spot fine can be issued in minor cases); or
•For interference to an Emergency call - if an individual 5 years imprisonment, otherwise $550,000


If you interfere with another persons conversation just select another channel and do not provoke troublemakers that may deliberately search out other people provoke a reaction, Just ignore them remember

Polaris.

Thank you for your reply but I am still confused about the use of my UHF unit that is on 40 channels. Will I still be able to use the existing 40 channel UHF radios or will the channels be reset to different frequencies. If they are using the same bandwidth and adding 40 more channels, are the existing channel staying where they are or changing. Steve.B....

Esarby - your 40 channel radio has 25KHz bandwidth on all the channels - the new 80 Ch radios only have 12.5 KHz bandwidth ( shown on the original post) - so the new radios can fit 2 channels in the same space that a single channel on a 40 Ch set would occupy.
The 40 Ch radios are still legal for about 5 years. Mind you you won't be able to access ch 41 to 80.

We have 5 radios that are all now 80 Ch and we use Ch 60 - so you can't hear us and we can't hear you either if you only have a 40 ch set.

Out of curiosity, what is channel 22 and 23? How is that used, and who uses them?

Ch 22 and 23 are for telemetary only. Even under the old 40 Ch allocation they were not to be used for voice. - DATA ONLY.

They are used by various groups like farmers for a simple long-range switching or monitoring function. GME have some kit on their site.

Cheaper and easier than running a wire ;)
