Who We Are
Our Purpose
AUSCB has a dual purpose – to offer a quality 5W 80CH UHF CB Handheld direct at wholesale price with Type Approval to Australian & New Zealand Standards, and to help reduce the trade of imported illegal radios by offering an affordable alternative. The SIERRA is also type approved to the Land Mobile Service (licensed private or commercial frequencies outside the CB band) covering 403-480Mhz, which means it has to be held to a higher technical standard than the average CB.
Non Type Approved Radios on ebay
Did you know that it is illegal to use or sell a BAOFENG, PUXING, TYT, RETIVIS, or WOUXUN Radio for CB or commercial use within Australia – radios that are typically found on ebay. They are even illegal for licensed ‘Ham’ radio operators if the radios aren’t locked specifically to the ham bands. The Australian Media & Communications Authority (ACMA) can, and has, handed out large fines over these radios. If you work in Traffic Control, you may also be in breach of WPHS for not using Standards approved equipment, should a comms related incident occur.
Wholesale Pricing and New Direction
Don’t let the price fool you either, the SIERRA has specs you could expect to see on a $300+ radio. We can do this price because we are wholesale direct to the public, don’t rely on retail outlets, distribution networks, slick advertising campaigns, or jacking up the cost to cover warranty claims. Retail is changing – customers today are much better informed, more discerning with their choices, but want and expect value for money. We think that is a good thing and when you deal with AUSCB, you are dealing with us direct. This is the exciting new way to do business. We want to give you a good price, because we use and like radios ourselves. Hands down, AUSCB’s SIERRA Radio is the best ‘bang for buck’ handheld CB radio available in Australia.
Radios and Us
We have been involved with radio communications for some 30 years and are an independent & registered Australian radio supplier. You can purchase with confidence knowing that AUSCB will be here to supply and support our products.
Philosophy
We have decided to keep it simple too, just one model of Handheld CB – a full channel, full power 5W 80CH version. This saves a lot of confusion and frustration. We can supply a great product, at a better price, by concentrating on that product. We also followed that through with an easy to navigate website.
Purchasing options
Thank you for choosing to shop with us. You can order directly through our official website for the best pricing, or visit our eBay store by searching for AUSCB or SIERRA, though eBay orders include a small fee adjustment. Either way, all payments are securely processed through PayPal or credit card for your peace of mind.

Shipping costs $16.40 for up to five radios, $12.05 for combined small accessories, and $7.85 for tracked envelopes. Weekday orders placed before 1:00 PM AEST generally ship the same day. However, orders placed late Thursday or Friday may occasionally dispatch on Monday when our team takes a weekend camping trip to recharge.
