Hi All,
Under 5 weeks until we leave for our big trip around Australia. The gremlins seem to have gone and our preparations are going
well. We bought a car that had a 40 channel UHF fitted and I was just wondering if someone could set me straight about the channels for public use, the channels to avoid and the channels the truckies use as they often have some useful information about roads?
Have a great week all!

Hi Carreen,
Some very good information has been given above to which I would add one small item. If you have any passengers of a
young or sensitive disposition, I would suggest not using the Truckers' channel anywhere near big cities. In those areas quite a number of users have a very bad case of potty mouth.
Have a great trip!
Cheers,
Chris.

Well put Chris, as a general rule I usually turn the volume right down when near a town. It would appear the principle of inverse proportion applies i.e. the lower the IQ the greater the number of obscenities that punctuate the vocabulary.
Cheers
