Was browsing ExplorOz whilst Googling for UHF radios and came across this- which I found very interesting! I honestly had no idea it was against the law to speak on some channels.

UHF Radio Channel Allocation

Below you will find a list of UHF Radio channel allocations. There are many channels that have been established by law including the Emergency channel 5 and the data transmission channels 22 and 23.

1 to 8 - These channels, which are established by law, can be used when sending a signal to a repeater which will help increase the communication distance
5 - This channel, which is established by law, can be used by anyone but only in an emergency situation
9 - Used for conversations
10 - Used by 4WD enthusiasts, clubs, convoys and in national parks
11 - Calling channel. This channel, which is established by law, is used to call or locate another station. Parties will then switch to another channel to continue with their conversation
12 to 17 - Used for conversations
18 - Holiday maker’s communication channel (e.g. when in a convoy)
19 to 21 - Used for conversations
22 and 23 - These two channels are used for data transmissions and is established by law. Voice transmissions are not allowed on these two channels
24 to 30 - Used for conversations
29 - Highway Communications which are mainly used by truck drivers and other highway users
31 to 38 - These channels, which are established by law, are received by a repeater and re-transmitted on channels 1 to 8 to help increase the communication distance
35 - Can be used in case of Emergencies also
39 - Used for conversations
40 - Highway Communications which are mainly used by truck drivers and other highway users

they make these rules, but how is it possible to police these rules?

cos if my memory serves me correctly, a uhf is nearly un traceable unless you have some serious technical equiptment

In the words of the pirate from pirates of the carribbean.... 'they're morelike guidelines.'

People are just expected to follow them, but if by chance they ARE caught doing the wrong thing, then it's enforcable.
