DEFINITION

GENERAL INFORMATION

i. The Citizen Band Radio Service is licensed in Australia by
the ACMA Radiocommunications (Citizens Band Radio
Stations) Class Licence and in New Zealand the Ministry
of Economic Development New Zealand (MED). Opera-
tion is subject to conditions contained in the General User
Radio Licence for Citizens Band Radio.
ii. The transceiver must not be operated on channel 5 and
35, unless in an emergency. No voice transmissions are
permitted on channels 22 and 23, as these are used for
data (telemetry/telecommand). The transceiver will inhibit
transmission on channels 22 and 23.
iii. Always listen on a channel (or observe channel busy indi-
cator) to ensure it is not already being used before trans-
mitting.
iv. This transceiver operates on 12.5 kHz channel spacing.
During the changeover period from 25 kHz to 12.5 kHz,
there may be some loss of quality and/or audio level when
12.5 kHz (narrowband) transmissions are received on 25
kHz (wide band) equipment, and vice-versa. There may
also be interference caused by older equipment operat-
ing on channels adjacent to narrowband channels, as the
channel setting on these may cause some 'overlap.'
