IMPORTANT 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.
