CB radio

[TyGras]

I am new to Australia and have a question regarding cb radios; does a person require a license to have a cb radio in their vehicle? Just want one for communicating on 4x4 outings, other wise it would never be on.

No license required matey, just need to know what channels are used for what. e.i. truckers channels etc.

No license needed for your standard 5watt UHF or a 27mhz system.

AM - 27Mhz - No
UHF - 477Mhz - No

HF - Yes.

eg ACMA - Citizen band radio fact sheet (http://www.acma.gov.au/WEB/STANDARD/pc=PC_1688)
