The obvious place now for a new CB service would be to simply adopt US UHF 462/7MHz GMRS, which was originally US class A CB. GMRS also has provision for 5MHz split repeaters, so public UHF repeaters as they have in OZ on 477MHz could be possible on 462/7 Steve Terry[ Auf dieses Posting antworten ]
