CB in New Zealand
Neill, ZL1TAJ, provides an update on the recent changes to Citizens Band Radio in New Zealand.
In New Zealand, since June 2, you can now use the Australian/US style 27MHz (26.965 to 27.405 MHz) 40 Channel CB's as well as the New Zealand 26MHz (26.330 to 26.770 MHz) 40 Channel ones.
The New Zealand 476/477MHz UHF Personal Radio Service (PRS) (UHF CB in Australia) has also just been updated. Existing 40 Channel 5 kHz deviation units are still ok, but new to the market models should be 80 Channel 2.5 kHz deviation ones. The new PRS radios have Ch's 41 to 80 12.5 kHz above Ch's 1 to 40.
