What is a Repeater?
A repeater is a tool used by UHF CB Radio operators to communicate over larger distances. Repeaters are often placed in high locations like tall buildings, hills or mountains. They receive a transmission on one channel (Repeater Input) and then simultaneously rebroadcast it over a wider area via the repeater output frequency. With the use of a repeater an operator can extend there range from 3 – 7 Km to over 100 Km.
Who is responsible for laying charges against people who break the laws of UHF CB Radio ?
The Australian Communications & Media Authority (ACMA) is the government body responsible for governing all radio frequencies. Any person or persons found to be breaking the laws of UHF CB Radio, leave themselves open to fines and even jail time. The ACMA have inspectors that investigate and prosecute offenders.
Someone keeps telling me that this is their channel and I have to move, It that correct ?
No single person or organization has the rights to use any channel exclusively, Where possible try to accommodate other users needs and ensure you are using the selected channel correctly i.e. You are not transmitting on Emergency, Telemetry or Repeater Inputs
You have a repeater listed as Online but I can’t hear it ?
Sometimes repeater owners will switch off their repeaters for a number of reasons.
Do I need a call sign ?
Call signs are not issued to individual users. However, it is recommended that operators use some form of identification when transmitting.
How much power can I use to Transmit ?
UHF CB Radio operators are limited to a maximum of 5 watts of power. The attachment of any external devices, such as linear amplifiers, to CB radio equipment, for the purpose of increasing the power output of the transmitter, is not permitted. This type of operation is a breach of the licence conditions. ACMA will enforce legal action on operators who breach this condition.
