User Guide

For UHF400R 80 Channel UHF 2-WAY Citizen Band Radio

This unit complies with all relevant Australian
and New Zealand approval requirements
AS/NZS 4365:2011

Why has the ACMA increased the number of available UHF CB channels?

To provide additional channel capacity within the UHF CB Band the ACMA will over the next 5 years change the
majority of the current wideband 40 channel use to narrowband 80 channel use.

During this time wideband channel use will be gradually phased out as users upgrade their existing radio’s.
This means that the new Oricom narrowband radio you have purchased will have more channels than older wideband

radios. Some of these channels are locked and cannot be used, (see the attached channel chart for more information).

When did this take place?

Early in 2011 new AS/NZS Standards came into effect allowing operators to use additional narrowband channels and
also use narrowband transmissions on some current wideband channels. This increased the number of channels up
to 80, 75 of which are useable voice channels.

What issues may users experience during the transition phase?

When a new narrowband radio receives a transmission from an older wideband radio the speech may sound loud
and distorted – simply adjust your radio volume for the best listening performance. When an older wideband radio
receives a signal from a new narrowband radio the speech may sound quieter - simply adjust your radio volume for
best listening performance. When operating a narrowband radio or Channel 41 - 80 interference is possible from
wideband radios transmitting on high power or on adjacent frequency.

The issues described above are not a fault of the radio but a consequence of mixed use of wideband and
narrowband radios.

It is expected that as older wideband radios are removed from service that this issue will be resolved. Most radios in
use will be narrowband eliminating this issue.

channels and should be used only in an emergency.
CTCSS and DCS will not operate on channels 5 and 35.
A list of currently authorised channels can be obtained from the ACMA website

in Australia and the MED website in New Zealand. Channel 11 is a calling

channel generally used to call others and channel 40 is the customary road

vehicle channel.
Once contact is established on the calling channel, both stations should move to

another unused "SIMPLEX" channel to allow others to use the calling channel.
Channels 22 and 23 are for Telemetry and Telecommand use, voice

communications are not allowed on these channels.
Channel 9 and above are the best choices for general use in Simplex mode.
