UHF CB
From Biocrawler, the free encyclopedia.
UHF CB is a licence-free citizen's band radio service authorised by the government of Australia in the UHF 477MHz band. A similar frequency allocation is also used in New Zealand. It uses 40 channels like the United States HF CB allocation.
The equipment designs are similar to mobile two-way radio gear as used in the U.S., though a fair amount of inexpensive equipment is available that is roughly equivalent to the low-end gear commonly available in the U.S. and Europe for FRS/GMRS or PMR 446 usage. The three allocations are at different frequencies and are therefore incompatible, and usually illegal to use in each other's areas as it is likely to cause interference with other services.
"UHF CB" may also be used informally to refer to the FRS in the North America, PMR 446 in Europe, or any similar service, but this is mostly a fact of regulations and not an official name given to the service.
