CB station or indicate the geographic location of the CB station:
(i)           on a carrier frequency mentioned in item 4 or 5 in Schedule 1; and
(ii)         subject to the restrictions mentioned in the item.

6 Conditions — general

  A person must not:
         (a) except in an emergency — operate a CB station on:
           (i)           carrier frequency 27.065 megahertz (HF channel 9); or
(ii)         carrier frequency 476.525 megahertz (UHF channel 5) ; or
(iii)      carrier frequency 477.275 megahertz (UHF channel 35); or

Note   In an emergency mentioned in subsection 49(1) of the Act, if a carrier frequency mentioned in this paragraph is not accessible, it is preferable that a carrier frequency mentioned in paragraph (b) should be used.
         (b) except to initiate contact with another CB station — operate a CB station on:
           (i)           carrier frequency 27.085 megahertz (HF channel 11); or
(ii)         carrier frequency 27.155 megahertz (HF channel 16); or
(iii)      carrier frequency 476.675 megahertz (UHF channel 11); or
         (c) use with a transmitter device that encrypts speech transmission in transmitting:
(i)           a radio signal on a carrier frequency that is referred to in paragraph (a) or (b); or
           (ii)         through a CB repeater station; or
         (d) make an alteration to a CB station, or to accessory apparatus used in the operation of a CB station, that is likely to cause interference to radiocommunications, except:
(i)           in accordance with a direction given under subparagraph 9(2)(a)(i); or
(ii)         with the consent in writing of an inspector who is reasonably satisfied that the alteration has been made to test the operation of the CB station; or
         (e) operate a CB station to transmit on a carrier frequency mentioned in an item in Schedule 1 if the transmission will cause harmful interference to the operation of any other CB station on that carrier frequency; or
         (f) operate a CB station:
(i)           in a way that would be likely to cause a reasonable person, justifiably in all the circumstances, to be seriously alarmed or seriously affronted; or
(ii)         for the purpose of harassing a person; or
         (g) fail to comply with a direction given under section 9; or
         (h) operate a CB station to transmit speech on channels 22 (476.950 MHz) or 23 (476.975 MHz); or
         (j) operate a CB station to transmit signals that identify a CB station or indicate its geographic location with a duty cycle of more than 10 seconds in any period of 60 minutes;
         (k) operate a CB station to transmit on a carrier frequency mentioned in item 4, 5, 6, 7 or 8 of Schedule 1 within 70 kilometres distance from the Murchison Radioastronomy Observatory if the transmission will cause interference with the operation of radio astronomy
