2、in a narrower bandwidth and hence use less spectrum. These radios are generally referred to as narrowband or 12.5 kHz radios. By using 12.5 kHz channel spacing instead of 25 kHz, the 40 channels originally allocated can now be expanded to 80 channels thereby doubling the channel capacity and relievi

3、ng congestion in the UHF CB/PRS band. Original 40 channel wideband radios will continue to operate on the original 40 channels, however they will not be able to converse on the newer channels 41 - 80. The newer narrowband radios will be able to converse with all older 40 channel wideband radios on a

4、ll channels 1 to 40 as well as the newer channels allocated from 41 to 80. The mixing of narrowband and wideband radios in the same spectrum can cause some possible operating issues of interference and varying levels of received vol- ume.

When an older wideband radio receives a signal from a new narrowband radio, the speech may sound quiet - simply adjust your radio volume f

6、or best performance. Depending on how close your receiving radio is to another transmitting radio, there can be interference from the transmitting radio if it is using a channel adja- cent to the channel you are listening to. Simply try going up or down a few channels from the currently selected cha

7、nnel. The above situations are not a fault of the radio but a symptom of operating wide- band and narrowband radios in the same bandwidth. This possible interference will decrease over time as the population of wideband radios ages and decreases. Further information and updates are available from th

8、e Australian communications and media Authority (ACMA) at www.acma.gov.au and the Ministry of Economic Development (MED), radio spectrum management at: www.rsm.govt.nz Emergency Channels The ACMA has allocated channels 5/35 for emergency use only. Channel 5 is the primary simplex Emergency channel.

9、Where a channel 5 repeater is available, you should select Duplex on CH 5. Note: Channel 35 is the input channel for the channel 5 repeater therefore channel 35 should also not be used for anything other than emergency transmissions. Telemetry Channels ACMA regulations have allocated channels 22 and

10、 23 for telemetry only applica- tions and have prohibited the transmission of speech on these channels. Conse- quently your radio has a transmit inhibit applied to channels 22 and 23. In the event additional telemetry/telecommand channels are approved by the ACMA, these channels shall be added to th

11、ose currently listed where voice trans- mission is inhibited. Currently transmissions on channels 61, 62 and 63 are also inhibited and these channels are reserved for future allocation.

If CTCSS or Digital Coded Squelch (DCS) Lockout has been programmed on a channel, the radio can transmit only

18、when there is no carrier being received or when the carrier being received includes the correct CTCSS tone or DCS code. Key Lock In order to prevent accidental operating function/feature change or inadvertent transmission, various aspects of the front panels keys may be locked out. To activate the L
