The Citizens Band lies between the shortwave broadcast
and 10-meter Amateur radio bands, and was established
by law in 1949. The Class D two-way communications
service was opened in 1959. (CB also includes a Class A
citizens band and Class C remote control frequencies.)
FCC Regulations
FCC regulations permit only "transmissions" (one-party
to another) rather than" broadcast" (to a wide audience).
Thus, advertising is not allowed on CB channels because
that is "broadcasting".
FCC Warnings
All transmitter adjustments other than those supplied
by the manufacturer as front panel operating controls,
must be made by, or under the supervision of, the holder
of an FCC-issued general Radio-Telephone Operator’s
License.
Replacement or substitution of transistors, regular di-
odes or other parts of a unique nature, with parts other
than those recommended by Cobra, may cause violation
of the technical regulations of Part 95 of the FCC Rules,
or violation of Type Acceptance requirements of Part 2
of the Rules.
You should read and understand Part 95 (included with
this unit) of the FCC Rules and Regulations, before oper-
ating your Cobra radio, even though the FCC no longer
requires you to obtain an operator’s license.
