Am cb radio

Post by jade_l »

hi there ive brought a 27mhz cb off the net without knowing a lot about them. I was wondering if it will work with a 27mhz aerial and a uhf base and cable?

oops :(

nz am cbs were 26Mhz just to be different, and protect the local industry. You need the am aerial to match, along with matching second set to talk. The later cb,s as you have mentioned are uhf, which means it like trying to recieve FM radio on an old AM receiver. Some good radio techs may be able to change the frequency from 27mhz to 26mhz but it dependends the internal design. the offical list of frequencies are here http://www.rsm.govt.nz/cms/licensees/types-of-licence/general-user-licences/citizen-band-radio
