The Australian CB bands include legally allocated emergency channels for use to call for assistance.
Australia has two CB bands in operation:
> The 27MHz or HF band, and
> The UHF band
Although you do not need a licence to use these bands, they are governed by federal legislation which includes the allocation of the emergency channels. These emergency channels are:
On the 27MHz band:
>Channel 9
(on 23 or 40 channel sets);
On the UHF band:
>Channels 5 AND 35
On UHF channel 35 is used as the uplink or input for emergency channel repeater systems so it is vitally important you NEVER use UHF channel 35 to chat!
With thanks to Uniden Australia, ACREM had over $2,200 worth of Uniden equipment up for grabs in the Uniden Fundraiser Raffle. With 100% of proceeds going to ACREM, this was a great way to help ACREM continue its life saving work, and go into the draw for some fantastic prizes.
