UHF CB
From HFUnderground
Not to be confused with similar services in the United States and Europe. The term UHF CB may refer to the license-free FRS service and/or GMRS service in the United States. Use of the Australian UHF CB frequencies outside Australia, New Zealand, Malaysia and Indonesia is not permitted. In the US, the FRS/GMRS band operates on the UHF band, but uses different frequencies. A "VHF CB" service is also available in the US - the license free MURS service.
