Does anyone know if Austrialian CB's (40 channel) are tuned to the same frequecy as UK?

I've a couple of 5 watt handheld radios which I picked up over there a few years ago, they've fantastic range, but I've never tried picking anything up (other than radio repeaters) in the UK.


Thanks...

I know a few years ago when CB was in its prime, they used 27 Mhz (mid band).
Chances are if you can hear repeater stations it may be as Mark suggested on the UHF or VHF side.
If you can hear COPS - RUN   Very Happy

I suppose that I could always sit on a motor way bridge and scan through Wink

hummmm I wonder what the law is at the moment with handheld cb's rather than mobi phones!!  would be interesting discussing that one in court!!!

Now, if I can only figure out how to get the volume to stay up on one of the handsets................

Only certain bands are free to use by the public (i cant be bothered looking all of them up)
But UK40 FM 27/84 and midband 27mhz FM
Ohh and the recent pmr ones, but signal stength is still limited for all of them  Wink

I got done about 15 years ago for using a CB whilst driving.  Due care & attention.  They can apply that if they spot you changing a CD/radio channel/scratching yer ar53.......
