scope:

This Standard specifies requirements for analogue speech (angle modulated) equipment operating in the VHF and UHF land mobile and fixed service radiofrequency bands in the range 29.7 MHz to 1 GHz that are not subject to spectrum licensing arrangements.

Categories of equipment within this range include the following:

(a) Base, mobile, personal mobile and RF control stations operating in the designated land mobile bands in the frequency range 29.7 MHz to 1 GHz with channel spacings of 12.5 kHz, 20 kHz (in Australia see Clause 3.11) or 25 kHz.

(b) Fixed point-to-point and point-to-multipoint equipment operating in the designated single channel fixed service bands in the frequency range 29.7 MHz to 1 GHz with channel spacings of 12.5 kHz or 25 kHz. The labelling arrangements of Clause 3.3 still apply.

(c) Personal mobile, fixed and repeater equipment operating in the maritime mobile service and used for on-board communications in the frequency band 450 MHz to 470 MHz.

(d) Narrowband Area Service (NAS) transmitters used in Australia, with performance requirements identical to land mobile radio service (LMRS) base stations.

(e) Coast stations in the VHF maritime mobile service.
