Ok so their is talk of being traced and tracked for using the wrong frequency and getting a visit by the ACMA and what not, but who actually reports people and how do they do it? i am curious because if i get a license i would like to know how to do so? and if people have to go onto the the same cha...

Listen mate, I have never said and never would break federal law, why in the world would I do that? From the responses you were making, asking "well who's going to catch me then" and stuff like that, it seemed pretty clear to me that you were intending on ignoring the advice you were bein...

Well i received it today, literally just then and ALL the other buyers in Australia said they use them between the 2 CB radios and have had no worries, for about 5 years. But i AM taking all you's knowledge and really am not going to use these, thank you for your help. Also i want to know, how old ...

danoroth - You have come to this forum seeking advice. The people that have been giving you that advice are trained, qualified and licenced radio operators and many of our members also work in the radio, electronics, communications and law enforcement fields, yet you have constantly ingnored or que...

Well say if i program it to australian regulations, lock it to 80 channels, and use it only on those 80 channels, what's wrong with it? As robbage says: This radio is not authorised as a CB in Australia. No amount of programming or wand-waving will change that. The fact that the radio is is capable...

This radio is not authorised as a CB in Australia. No amount of programming or wand-waving will change that. I also disagree with the first line of your first post. Well tell me this, who will charge me of using a CB radio on the right channels and frequency, only having the option to change freque...

Hey, I have found this pretty decent radio (at least I think it is), and I just wanted some good thoughts. The product is programmable, with all accessories, like battery charger, earpiece etc. I just don't know what the range is? It's 5W and the frequency is 400-520MHz which I know is Aus allowed,...

Dude look at the product, programmable, 400-520mhz frequency, Australia's frequency is 476-477mhz, preeeeeeeeeee sure this is legal, and will work in Australia.

No. That radio is fixed to the 22 channels that they use in the USA. They can't be reprogrammed to work on the Australian CB channel allocation (besides, there's 80 CB channels here, not 22). But is it possible to programme it to fit Australia's frequency, but stop at channel 22, still linking to t...

So this never crossed my mind, if it were possible could i programme the Midland LXT 118, it's from America but i want to know if it is possible to programme any old CB Radio? If so what equiptment would i need? here is the actual product: http://www.midlandradio.com/Two-Way-Radio.BS3/LXT118 But eve...

Well i just want to talk to randoms, truckies, people with CB radios in their house, just casual use. So basically the frequency must be nothing but 476-477Mhz? and 5W, Yep, that's right. Five watts is the maximum permissible output power for a UHF CB radio. And it must comply with the frequency re...

ok, so i really am desperate for a CB radio, i want a decent one that has the range of at least 15km o more, and i want it to be under the price range of $150, i really need some good advice as to which model i should buy, and also i do not mind if it is in a 2 pack. And if that is impossible, just...

OK so guys, i contacted the transmission or whatever agency, it IS illegal to use in australia, but not illegal to import into australia, so i have now found a pretty good deal, but it is UHF 400-480mhz, would that be both legal and operate-able in Perth WA?
