  Review: Digitalk Communicator hand-held UHF CB radio
UHF CB suffers much less from interference and has better sound quality, but its range is much lousier.
The UHF CB repeater channels are numbers 1 through 8, with channel 5 reserved for emergency traffic, and the channel pair spacing is the same for all of them - 2 pairs with 32, 3 pairs with 33, and so on.
In Sydney, for instance, UHF Channel 1 is repeated by a chap in Hurstville whose repeater is instantly recognisable, thanks to its insertion of a "quack quack" sound effect every time someone dekeys (stops transmitting).

  Welcome to UHFworld - Radio Communications at your finger tips.
On UHF CB when repeaters are used it's termed duplex, and when repeaters aren't used it's termed simplex.
UHF CB radios are generally short range radios, and the Australian Government decided to limit the power of the CB radios so people couldn't talk too far and so I suppose there wouldn't be over crowding of the band due to a lot of high powered stations talking.
Beam antennae effectively harness the limited output of 477MHz CB stations and also cut down on interference from other stations that may be on the same channel although not along a direct path between the two stations.

 CB Radios On The BNT   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
To improve range, some CB clubs (in populated areas) and outback stations have installed UHF CB repeaters on high ground or towers but both parties in the conversation must still be able to have "line of sight" access to the repeater antenna.
To use a UHF CB repeater, both radios must be set to the repeater channel and have "Duplex" mode selected.
Trekkers need to weigh up the benefits of CB radio against its limitations and the fact that it is something more to carry and feed batteries to when making their decision weather to carry CB radio handset/s or not on the BNT.

The C.B will display channel 1, because that is what you are receiving, but if you are using 'Duplex', then you are transmitting on 31 and receiving on 1.

 Peter Parker Online: CB Radio
CB radio is intended to provide short-range radio communication for almost any purpose, business or personal.
UHF really comes into its own when repeater stations are used.  Repeaters are installed on hilltops and retransmit signals received on one channel onto another channel.
UHF simplex operation is similar to 27 MHz AM.  Find a busy channel and say 'breaker' to join a conversation.  Do this just after the person talking finishes their transmission.

 ACBRO Team Inc 1980 - Advocates For Australian CB Radio Clubs And Operators
UHF Repeaters are special stations that are mostly owned by businesses, farmers and clubs and are situated in cities and rural areas on the highest points available.
A signal received by it from a UHF set on a repeater output channel, even if it is weak and noisy, is instantly re-transmitted at full strength to another UHF set's input channel.
The comprehensive list of UHF CB Radio repeater stations around Australia would probably be much smaller were it not for the busi­ness community's participation, both active and financial in establishing and maintaining such repeaters.

UHF radios are almost never bothered by interference from other operating electrical devices, such as jet skis, automobile alternators, or computers.
ICOM's UHF CB radios take advantage of what is known as "selective calling"; an internal decoding system filters out communications that are not transmitting using a specific, user selectable code.
While CB communications are good for either short or long distance communication, the sound quality is often full of static, with lots of crackle and popping.

 SingaporeMoms - Parenting Encyclopedia - Ultra high frequency
UHF and VHF are the most common frequency bands for television.
Modern mobile phones also transmit and receive within the UHF spectrum, and UHF is widely used for two-way radio communication (usually using narrowband frequency modulation, but digital services are on the rise) by both public service agencies and the general public.
UHF is also widely used in two-way radio systems and cordless phones due to the fact that since UHF signals essentially travel over line-of-sight distances, distant transmissions cannot travel far enough to interfere with local transmissions.

After a five year phase-in period all CB operations would be moved to UHF from the 27Mhz band, because they can cause interference on 27Mhz.
Robinson warned CB enthusiasts to be sure any equipment that they bought met the Government specifications and was within the Act.
The Government has decided to move CB to the less-congested UHF band because the risk of interference to radio and television could be much less.

The new government seemed more amenable to CB, so some proposals for legal CB were released to the CB press in April of 1981.
In 1977 there were no UHF CBs, no manufacturers had started making any yet and users weren’t to concerned as they had 27MHz gear and were happy with it.
I know a few CB enthusiasts who have bought them and are enjoying using them as a short range CB style service, but the main usage seems to be by people with no interest in 27MHz CB.

 Tips and tricks on how to build your own CB Antennas.
On VHF and UHF mobile radio bands, the whips are so short that they may be phased vertically in a collinear array to achieve increased gain on transmit and receive.
This CB antenna consists of a driven element and four radial wires that act as a ground.
Your base CB antenna system may be put up 20 feet higher than the highest point of the building or tree on which it is mounted; however, the highest point of the antenna must not be more than 60 feet above the ground.

 Better db gain for UHF cb - Electronic Circuits Projects Diagrams Free
UHF isn't simple to build, nor cheap - by far the most effective method would be to use a better aerial - a decent size Yagi will give you 10dB gain on both transmit AND receive, and at UHF frequencies you can get higher gain than that quite easily, because of their small size.
Also bear in mind that UHF is 'line of sight', so range is fairly low unless you are on the top of a hill.
However, at VHF and UHF frequencies the limiting factor is the noise of the front end devices, unless your existing front end is particularly noisy it's unlikely a preamp will make very much difference.

Email Us 477 Mhz "UHF" UHF CB radio is rapidly taking over from the older types of CB Radio's 27Mhz type.
Unfortunately with a line of sight range of 5 to 20 Kilometres "UHF" is still unsuited for Emergencys in remote locations.
Farming areas, however usually have Repeaters stations within range which Help by boosting UHF Signals to 100 Kilometres or more, but once again these repeaters are not available in remote locations.There are about 300 of these repeater Australia wide and are not linked to each other to give even more range.

 Weather and Amateur Radio
AM CBs are the most economical form of radio communications of use to the chaser, with a range of 5 to 15km, depending on terrain and antennas used.
UHF CB is a similar service to 27 MHz and operates under the same rules.
These low powered UHF CBs are capable of 1km car-car range and can cost as little as $30-$40 each and require no installation (great for lending to someone with no radio in the car).

You must operate your CB station according to any applicable treaty to which the United States is a party.

 UHF Repeaters - How they operate.
It goes without saying I think, that if you are going to use the UHF band, you at least understand the function of repeaters and their allocation of set input and output frequencies within the 40 channel UHF band.
All modern UHF CB transceivers have the function of being able to select duplex on channels 1 to 8.
As the Authorities seem little interested to contribute to any policing of the band, it is largely up to the UHF fraternity to conduct themselves in a proper manner on the air and in doing so set a good example to others.

Each country has different rules but usually the authorities want to see filtering on the output of solid state amps and an amp that is not keyed (switched to TX) by RF but by an external lead connected to the radio.
In the US amps need to be modified so they will not easily work on 10m to prevent their use on 11m CB band.

 Amphenol RF- UHF Connector Series
Invented in the 1930's by an Amphenol engineer named E. Clark Quackenbush, UHF coaxial connectors are general purpose units developed for use in low frequency systems from 0.6 - 300 MHz.
Invented for use in the radio industry, UHF is an acronym for Ultra High Frequency because at the time 300 MHz was considered high frequency.
Note: These characteristics are typical but may not apply to all connectors.
