Understanding UHF Radios

[@mrdilligaf1968]

Very good tips , especially about aerials. No matter the radio output , the aerial type is critical

Would be nice if you warn people to stay off UHF 5 & 35 as they are Emergency Only Channels. You show that channel in use on the radios several times which would make many uninformed people think it is fine to use.

How about Myanmar? I don't have repeater near my place ..I use baofeng BF T1 9100 and it can work only 100 meter ..how can I do for more far ??

This is only a little 1w UHF transmitter with a stub antenna - line of site to around 500m is typical range. Great for spotting for a driver when 4wd or reversing a caravan but that's about it. For any sort of range you want a 5W unit with a proper antenna - still limited to line of site typically 5km or so depending on antenna and terrain. To get more range on UHF repeater stations are required. I have no idea of restrictions or legalities in Myanmar.

If I buy them from Australia 🇦🇺 and bring them in India 🇮🇳 will they work?

[@TinkleAssify]

Apparently transmitting in the UHF range is illegal in India. Best to look up the governing body of wireless communications. The Indian CB band is the HF range 26.957MHz to 27.283 MHz.

what about he uplink channels to the repeaters ? -- its idiots like your sales staff, who dont inform customers to NOT USE the uplink channels (31-38, 71-78) as they interfere with conversations on nearby repeaters... customers dont always read the booklet.

[@ThrillFilms]

lol why is it the staff's fault for your fuck up? You can't figure out anything for yourself? smh

No mention of Channels 5 & 35 being an Emergency Only Repeater as well. No wonder so many idiots like to chat on there.
