Radio programming for compatible radios
This collection highlights two programming services for one compatible radio. No radio is included. Choose the 1–5 channel programming service for a smaller channel selection, or the NZ & AU UHF CB programming service for a model-appropriate channel selection. Both are charged per radio, not per channel, and the channel selection depends on the exact radio model, supported channel plan and intended use.
Need a larger channel selection?
For more programming on one compatible radio, compare the 6–15 channel, 16–25 channel and 26–35 channel service tiers.
Compatibility and permitted use
Not every radio supports every service or channel plan. A VHF-only radio cannot be programmed for UHF CB, and U.S.-only channel plans are not programmed for NZ or Australian UHF CB use. UHF CB channels are shared, not private. Programming does not certify equipment or authorise transmission; check the requirements that apply to your location and service.
Radio expertise and support
Rex Harris is a qualified Radio Telecommunications Engineer, a New Zealand Approved Radio Certifier (ARC 127) and an Approved Radio Engineer (ARE). His Radio Technicians Certificate bears No. 48/1973 and his motorsport radio work began in 1975. We diagnose and service the communications equipment we sell, using the right component-level repair where practical instead of automatically replacing a complete system. For the full technical-service story, see Motorsport Technical Support, Repairs & Race-Car Setup. Programming and radio certification are distinct; an assessment of the exact equipment and intended NZ or AU use still matters.
Frequently asked questions
Does a programming service include a radio?
No. These listings are for programming only. A compatible radio may be one you already own or are purchasing separately from Harris Race Radios™.
Is the price per radio or per channel?
The charge is per radio, not per channel.
Will the 80-channel UHF CB service program all 80 channels into every radio?
No. It programs a suitable selection for the radio’s exact model, supported channel plan and intended use.
Can any radio be programmed for NZ or Australian UHF CB?
No. The radio must support UHF CB. A VHF-only radio cannot be programmed for UHF CB, and U.S.-only channel plans are not programmed for NZ or Australian UHF CB use.
Does programming authorise transmission?
No. Programming does not certify equipment or grant permission to transmit. Check the equipment and operating requirements that apply to your location and service.
