AS/NZS 4365 requirements
Products designed to operate at a frequency of 476MHz have
been approved for operation in the UHF Citizens Band Radio
Service which is licensed in Australia by the ACMA
Radiocommunications (Citizens Band Radio Stations) Class
Licence and in New Zealand by the MED General User Radio
Licence for Citizens Band Radio. Operation is subject to
conditions contained within those licences.
Repeaters operate by receiving a transmission on one
channel and re-transmitting it on another. Operators are
required to avoid using local repeater input channels, which
will be in the range of 31 to 38, unless it is intended to use
the repeater facility and to avoid using local repeater output
channels, which will be in the range 1 to 8, at any time.
In Australia:
■ Except in an emergency, a CB transmitter must not be
operated on UHF channels 5 and 35 and no voice
transmissions are permitted on data channels 22 and 23.
Equipment meeting this standard will inhibit voice
operation on channels 22 and 23.
■ Channel 11 is the customary calling channel for
establishing communications.
■ Channel 40 is the customary road vehicle channel.
Frequency band reserved for distress beacons
Frequency band 406 to 406.1 MHz is reserved for use by
distress beacons. Transmissions should not be made within
this frequency band.
