Well done Rooster, they do have a shorter distance coverage being a hand held though.

Now, if you do a search in Techies there was a list of all the frequencies used bu UHF. If that fails ask Mr Google.

Just to get you going with the important ones though.......

.....5&35 are for emergency calls, move to another channel when contact made and asked to move.

9 is a general call channel, then move to another.

18 is for caravaners, then move to another channel.

40 is the general truckies channel but 29 for some reason is used on the Pacific Hwy NSW, again, move to another chennel if
chatting for any length of time.

I have these all set in my scan mode and also scan 22, 25 and 35. You will find a lot of road works on 22&25.

Have fun good buddy.

Edit...Ooops, forgot to say, please keep 5&35 free of general chit chat and for emergencies only, one day you might need it free. There are a lot of idiots that chat on it but even worse, companies using it for business.

You will notice when in Cities and large towns there are a lot of idiots on UHF in general and will learn all about body parts etc. Do what I do and turn right down or OFF. 

Rodger that. 

You can but a antenna for it that gives you about a gain 3db

Usually 3db  doubles the output and in the input tis a worthwhile

Option but tis all theory  but it does boost the signal
