477 Mhz "UHF" UHF CB radio is rapidly taking over from the older types of CB Radio's 27Mhz type.
With its superior clarity and range, UHF has become a choice of Rural Australia.
Most outback stations, 4x4 Clubs, Caravan Clubs, & 95% of Interstate Truck Drivers use UHF.
Unfortunately with a line of sight range of 5 to 20 Kilometres "UHF" is still unsuited for Emergencys in remote locations.
Farming areas, however usually have Repeaters stations within range which Help by boosting UHF Signals to 100 Kilometres or more, but once again these repeaters are not available in remote locations.There are about 300 of these repeater Australia wide and are not linked to each other to give even more range. They are designed to cover there area only and dont over lap the same channel number in the same Area.

Here in Australia we have 2 Main Companies that Make these Radios.
