Twice the number of channels = twice as much crap....

Hi Chris,

Australia & New Zealand share a standard for PRS (UHF CB over there).

Australia was going to adopt 80 channels with 12.5 kHz steps, 
subsequently we will likely follow suit, I'm not aware of it happening 
yet though. The advantage is double the channels in the same amount of 
spectrum, this is happening world wide, abolishing the old 25 kHz spaced 
channels.

The standard is AS/NZS 4365 and I see there is a 2011 amendment. Not 
sure if the link below will work, but it might...

Obviously that document is incomplete, but it makes it clear that the 
Australian change is being adopted here as I expected.

"This edition incorporates revisions providing test methods and 
performance limits to facilitate 12.5 kHz channel operation in alignment 
with the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) 400 MHz 
band restructure and associated changes being made by the Ministry of 
Economic Development (MED) in New Zealand."

Contact RSM on 0508 RSM INFO (0508 776463) to find out the actual situation.

Regards,

Neill.
