I've been a little interested in radios for a while now, so I went and bought myself a cheap pair of Dick Smith CB radios that have CTCSS(???). The range is 3km so I really don't know whether that's good or not
![Laughing :lol:](./images/smilies/icon_lol.gif)
Anyway, I've been looking around the 'net to find info on CB use and I've found that I don't need a licence to operate, don't transmit on channel 5 or 35 except in emergency and dont transmit on channel 11 unless trying to contact someone and agree on another channel to talk.
Since I'm new at all this, I was hoping someone might be able to confirm all that (maybe laws have changed recently?) and pick up something I may have missed?
Any help greatly appreciated.

-> I'm here coz SA doesn't have any good sites on CB and you guys look like you know what you're talking about...
