* The primary use for these channels is repeater operation using 750 kHz offset.
Channels 1-8 and 41-48 inclusive are used for mobile reception and channels 31-38
and 71-78 for mobile transmission. In addition, any designated repeater channel may
be used for simplex operation in areas where it is not used for repeater operation.
† Speech telephony shall be inhibited on these channels.
‡ At the time of production Channels 61, 62 and 63 are guard channels and are not
available for use.
Channel 5 and 35 (paired for Duplex repeaters) are reserved as emergency
channels and should be used only in an emergency.
CTCSS and DCS will not operate on Channel 5 and 35.
A list of currently authorised channels can be obtained from the ACMA website
in Australia and the MED website in New Zealand. Channel 11 is a calling
channel generally used to call others and channel 40 is the customary road
vehicle channel.
Once contact is established on the calling channel, both stations should move to
another unused "SIMPLEX" channel to allow others to use the calling channel.
Channels 22 and 23 are for Telemetry and Telecommand use, voice
communications are not allowed on these channels.
Channel 9 and above are the best choices for general use in Simplex mode.
