I MPORTANT INFORMATION CONCERNING UHF CB RADIO
The use of the Citizen Band radio service is licensed in Australia by the ACMA Radiocommunications
(Citizens Band radio Stations) Class Licence and in New Zealand by the Ministry of Economic
Development New Zealand (MED). A General User Radio Licence for Citizens Band radio and
operation is subject to conditions contained in those licences.
The class licence for users and equipment operating in the CB/PRS 477 MHz band has been
amended. This radio meets the new 80 channel standard.
In simple terms the same amount of spectrum is available; however, radio transceivers can now
operate in a narrower bandwidth and hence use less spectrum. These radios are generally referred
to as narrowband or 12.5 kHz radios. By using 12.5 kHz channel spacing instead of 25 kHz, the 40
channels originally allocated can now be expanded to 80 channels thereby doubling the channel
capacity and relieving congestion in the UHF CB/PRS band.
