Trev&Ness,

I've already had over 30 downloads so it must be working - perhaps try a different browser?

Thanks Gaz

Where did that come from Gaz?

Legally binding; Is that legally binding by ACMA?

There are a number of channel lists on the net. This one UHF Channels includes all 80 channels. As it says "On certain roads a different channel may be used by local traffic, and where this is signed, it is wise to change to that channel." Also in some areas other users use channels that are in use by convention, eg channel 18 can and is used by non caravaners etc. Apart from the legally binding ones anyone can use any channel.

Hi Trev&Ness B

For all the information you need, open up the Forum page and open up your thread. To the right of your name, you will see a box with an article titled "UHF Radio". Click on it, open the article and scroll down and you will see a full list detailing all the channels and what they are for. The article itself is extremely interesting to read. Alternatively, go to the Articles tab, type in UHF Radio which will bring up the article.
