Finally..! Someone who can explain how this repeater stuff works. Thank you
Love the Austrekkers pic, brings back memories Jeff
I’ve lost most of them sadly ☹️
Best UHF CB channel I have found for Australia - Well done.
Thank you.
@@JebbreysJibberish You are most welcome.
Love radios. I was a radio tech in the Army, so I love the idea of radio wireless communication.
Also, your point about the range of HF v UHF was lost on me. I mean, why would you want to limit the range (I love HF). After your explined it, it all made sense.
@@JebbreysJibberish Also. The explination of channel alications was fantastic. Cheers.
Its surprising how many people don't know the emergency channel🤦♂️. Good info mate, thank you!
Yes! You hear people chatting on it all the time 😬🙄
Good info buddy, we tow a van all the time and I personally think all caravanners should have a operating UHF when on the road. As you know a UHF gives you all kinds of information particularly communication with traffic management when wide loads are heading your way. It is frustrating when other people towing vans are not doing the right thing.
I’m surprised how many people either don’t have a UHF or don’t have ch40 on when towing. There’s been a few times even just this year I’ve wanted to let someone know there was something wrong with their van and they never responded.
@@JebbreysJibberish They have not realized how helpful they can be, thanks.
Thank you mate that information about the channels as I have heard of repeater channels, but now thanks to jibbber I understand.
Thank you for the feedback and thank you for watching.
Excellent info! If only the worksites around metro understood about the input channels! Good video!
Some really good information in this one, loving the style of these videos.
Thank you!
I remember getting into a repeater in South Australia From Seaford Melbourne in those rare conditions.
I use marine VHF. So can be confusing when jumping between the two. Good video.
Yeah the two actually share some commonalities too might be a good future videos on marine VHF. Thanks for watching!
very helpful mate thanks!
yet another informative presentation. well done mate
Thank you for the feedback and thank you for watching!
Where can you find an up-to-date NSW UHF repeater list? All the ones I have found via Google are either not on air anymore or off air. Cobar-01 in Cobar NSW is a good repeater out this way, used to be one in Forbes NSW but it's off air more times than on.
I bought a Uniden UHF 820s TP for when my wife and I go cruising, so I do have a number of questions. On such a large ship do they have repeaters on board and if so what channel should I set both of them on? Also there is an 'r' option for repeater, do I select that option or not? 🤔
There would be no repeaters on cruise ships.
So if I have an 80channel and use 38, what happens if I'm speaking to someone with a 40ch?
The 40ch will pickup the signal no problems. The transmission will be a lower quality / narrower band width as all 80ch comms are but most likely not noticeable. That being said you shouldn’t be using channel 38 on simplex because it’s a repeater input channel. But any of the lower 40channels will work back and forth between older 40ch rigs and newer 80ch rigs.
Ive never had any luck connecting to any repeaters. How do you get a list of local repeaters? Is there a directory somewhere? Are there access tones required (CTCSS/DCS)?
Generally UHF CB repeaters don’t have access Tones, amateur repeaters often do though. You should be able to just do a simple google search of local UHF repeaters in your local area.
Hi, just found this video. I live in Perth, and am interested which repeater you used to talk from Busselton to Geraldton. If you could answer this, that'd be awesome. Thanks, and I look forward to hearing from you.:)
P.S. also do you know where channel 5 is monitored and where it isn't. I needed it once, but didn't get help. Thanks.
You would need to have a condition known as costal ducting to be able to talk long distances in UHF. It’s not predictable when that condition happens but it is reasonably common. Channel 5 and 35 are monitored by several different organisations and there is actually a ch 5/35 repeater in Perth.
Hi, thanks very much for replying, wasn't expecting it :)
Very interesting about the coastal ducting. When you were doing it, were you using a repeater though or just simplex?
Re the emergency repeater in Perth, are you thinking of the one in Martin? If so, I don't think that that one still works. I'm in Forrestfield and when I needed it, I definitely couldn't reach it. I've also seen on some website that it is off air.
Thanks a lot
@@JebbreysJibberish
@aussieoutbackfarm I haven’t lived in Perth for a looooong time so it’s possible the channel 35 repeater is offline. I thought it was up in the hills somewhere. Ducting can work on simplex or duplex but the times I’ve experienced on UHF CB and on 2m VHF HAM bands was while using repeaters. It would be unusual to just randomly pickup someone chatting on simplex far away but much more likely in a repeater frequency as there are more people on those frequencies at anyone time.
Oh thanks a lot. Yes, Martin (where the emergency repeater is meant to be is in the hills. Actually a really nice area.
Re ducting, yes that makes sense now.
2 other questions:
1. Do you remember which repeater you were using when you got ducting on UHF CB? Maybe the Perth repeater (chn.8), Roleystone (chn.3), Bunbury (chn. 2), Naval Base (chn.46), Bindoon (also chn. 2)?
2. If someone needs help in an area where there's no channel 5/35 repeater, is there still a chance that they might be monitored as simplex?
Hope I'm not taking up too much of your time.
Thanks :).@@JebbreysJibberish
@aussieoutbackfarm yes channel 5 is often monitored in remote areas on simplex. I can’t remember the repeater might have been Perth 8 or rollystone 3 , could have even been the old Waneroo repeater!
Hi, I am Radio Communication Technician in Png and I am looking for UHF CB Repeaters
I'm being told that CB repeaters are not legal due to the damn fcc. Is this true or just false information?
I’m in Australia so we don’t have the FCC as that’s American. In Australia UHF CB repeaters are legal but must be licensed through the ACMA.

Nice one, cheers. Question: Do some of the general chat channels work better with different radios in different terrains compared to others? For example, If I got a new pair of walkies for around the farm could I find that channel 56 is a better channel for chatter between the two transceivers than say channel 26 or would they both work equally well? Or in other words, are there areas on the uhf spectrum that just work better in a given location? Would it be worth testing the general use channels to find out which ones work best on my property? That you.
Good question. Because the channels are so close together in the band they will generally work equally as well.
@@JebbreysJibberish Terrific, thanks muchly.
