476.425 - 477.400 MHz in North America?
Hi All,
I'm planning a holiday in North America in November+December, and amongst other things will expect to do a little light bush walking and cavorting around amusement parks (in CA, if it matters). I have a set of Australian UHF (476.425 - 477.400 MHz, 25 kHz channel spacing, FM, 5W (1W for my radios, 0.5W "lo range")) class-license CB radios that are great for keeping the family in touch in such situations, and would like to take them with me to use in the US. I've looked around for the various frequency allocations, and whilst I have found that the rough equivalent device in the US (FRS) is on a lower range (462.5625-467.7125 MHz, max 0.5W (fcc.gov)), I can't find if the Aus radios would be smack in the middle of some restricted band or similar. The 'search' at http://wireless2.fcc.gov/UlsApp/UlsS...chAdvanced.jsp was broken when I tried it... Sooo, would I likely cause problems, or have problems, with a pair of 0.5W transceivers ~477Mhz in the US in general? In Disneyland specifically :-)? Thanks in advance for any pointers... Ben |

Leave those radios home.In a densly populated area,like Disneyland,you will
most like cause interference to other services.You ca stop at any discount department store and get a set of FRS radios for next to nothing,and just throw them away when you leave for home.

I couldn't bear to toss perfectly functional radios! I guess I could leave 'em near an entrance gate as a freebie for the next family in... Thanks for the reply. |
