Welcome mate! I think you'd find more people using LSB or USB as opposed to AM for obvious reasons. Others over in WA might be able to help you further, I don't think you'll get any use out of the Uniden but the old door stop might be of some use if it's setup properly!

You get "skip" on USB/LSB and can talk over a long range, im sure you already know. noone uses AM anymore...
UHF CB is the new AM, but unfortunatly UHF CB is full of tools...
and radiotech is right, a UH-012 wont get you far, unless your resenabley close to a repeater station.
A repeater station recieves your transmission, and re-transmitts it over a wider area, they are usually on high points in the land to get the best coverage.
