Thread: 40 Chan UHF CB to remain legal

Sensible decision, the extra 40 intermediate channels in the later 80 channel sets seem to be rarely used anyhow.

It enables owners of the hundreds of thousands of 40 channel sets to continue to use them legally. Doubt that legality or otherwise would have stopped them anyway.

For the info of non-users the later 80 channel sets can be used to communicate with the earlier 40 channel sets by using only channels 1-40. The channels numbered above 40 in the later sets are located between the earlier 1-40 channels.

The channel "width" in the newer sets has been reduced by half to accomodate the extras.

interesting, i thought a 10 year phaseout would of worked.
