Australian Bands---- (
27 MHz HF BAND--
The HF (High Frequency) Band offers two modes of operation and are not compatible with one
another, AM (Amplitude Modulation) and SSB (Single Side Band). For this reason the AM mode
is traditionally used on channels 1 to 14 inclusive and the SSB mode on 15 to 40 inclusive.
The SSB Mode has two modes of it own. Conversations can take place on Lower Side Band (LSB) or the
Upper Side Band (USB) mode. Although the AM mode can be very noisy in signal, one can expect
communication distances of around 5 to 10 kms in normal operating conditions. SSB mode basically,
has greater transmitting ranges. 15 to 50 kms can be reached under “normal” conditions providing
for much better reception. Under ideal atmospheric conditions incredible distances are possible in both modes.
This is called "skip." In skip conditions (where the signal travels upwards at an angle and bounces back to
earth at the same angle) transmission distances can reach thousands of kilometres enabling one to communicate across the world.
476/477 Mhz UHF BAND--
UHF (Ultra High Frequency) transmissions are made in the FM mode and offers a very clean and clear reception
as opposed to the AM or SSB modes. It has become the preferred mode of operation for many. Because UHF signals
travel in a straight line, geography plays an important role in how well a signal is transmitted and received.
Any hill or man-made structure between one radio and the other will impede the signal. UHF has been made very popular;
particularly in the flat country areas, and has become more so with the introduction of repeaters over the years
enabling even further distances for communications. Under ideal conditions, distance of 200 kms or more can be reached.
UHF radios can be bought with features such as selcall, CTCSS and telemetry and telecommand systems.
)
Auto Patch---- (
Used in repeater operation for telephone interconnect.
)
Average Power---- (
Power measured on standard power meter.
)
AVC---- (
Automatic Volume Control--A feedback scheme to level out the receiver audio volume.
