- Page 14 General communication is accepted on all other channels with these guidelines: • Channel 40 - road channel (Australia). • Channels 01-08 (and 31-38), and Channels 41-48 (and 71-78) are repeater channels. Important information - 80 Channel UHF-CB channel expansion To provide all users additional channel capacity within the UHF-CB Band. The ACMA will change the majority of the current wideband 40 channel use to narrowband channel use. This allows for additional channels to be added, up to 80 (77 usable) Channels. This simply means that the new narrowband radio you have purchased will have more channels than older radios. Please refer to the guidelines above and the channel chart for further channel information. A list of currently authorised channels can also be obtained from the ACMA website in Australia and the MED website in New Zealand. Interference / Poor Audio When a new narrowband radio receives a signal from an older NOTE wideband radio the speech may sound loud. Narrowband radios operating on CH41 - CH80 may encounter interference from a nearby wideband radios transmitting on high power on an adjacent channel (frequency). When an older wideband radio receives a signal from a new narrowband radio the speech may sound quiet - the wideband radio user simply adjusts their radio volume for best performance. The above situations are not a fault of the radio but a symptom of mixed wideband and narrowband radios in current use. It is expected that as older wideband radios are phased out this issue will be eliminated. UNIDEN UH043SX-2NB UHF CB Transceiver...
