Provided a dealer programs the radio in accordance with ACMA policy it is okay to use for UHFCB.GME Man wrote:I want to use it for UHF CB and also some receive frequencies.

As far as receive, it will depend on whether the frequencies are in band and are either analog or IDAS with the Digital Unit (UT119H) installed.

Re: ICOM IC-F4163S
I got a heap of analogue frequencies. But will it work with digital frequencies as well?

Re: ICOM IC-F4163S
Its basically a commercial radio. Providing you get the correct version, it will cover the UHF CBRS.
