NEWS - Changes to the Radiocommunications (Citizen Band Radio Stations) Class Licence 2002 came into force on 27 May 2011. These changes result from the making of the Radiocommunications (Citizen Band Radio Stations) Class Licence Variation 2011 (No. 1).
The Variation provides for additional channels in the UHF citizen band. Some of these additional channels are allocated as repeater channels. The variation relaxes the duty cycle restriction for telemetry and telecommand transmissions and permits the transmission of identification and position information. The variation clarifies the conditions applicable to ‘simplex’ use of repeater channels within range of repeater stations. The linking of repeater stations and individual CB stations has been prohibited to minimise potential congestion and interference.
The Radiocommunications (Citizen Band Radio Stations) Class Licence 2002 contains the technical parameters, operating requirements, conditions of licence and relevant standards for Citizen Band (CB) radios. CB radios must comply with the class licence for their use to be authorised under the class licence.
The Radiocommunications (Citizen Band Radio Stations) Class Licence 2002 was signed by the Australian Communications Authority on 7 February 2002 and issued by a notice published in the Commonwealth of Australia Gazette on 13 February 2002. The Radiocommunications (Citizen Band Radio Stations) Class Licence 2002 replaces the Citizen Band Radio Stations Class Licence.
