modification to a typeaccepted CB transmitter. (See CB
Rule 25, §95.425). Any internal modification to a type-
accepted CB transmitter cancels the type-acceptance,
and use of such a transmitter voids your authority to
operate the station.
§ 95.410 (CB Rule 10) How much power may I use?
(a) Your CB station transmitter power output must not
exceed the following values under any conditions: AM
(A3)—4 watts (carrier power) SSB—12 watts (peak
envelope power)
(b) If you need more information about the power rule,
see the technical rules in subpart E of part 95.
(c) Use of a transmitter which has carrier or peak
envelope power in excess of that authorized voids your
authority to operate the station.
§ 95.411 (CB Rule 11) May I use power amplifiers?
(a) You may not attach the following items (power
amplifiers) to your typeaccepted CB transmitter in any
way:
(1) External radio frequency (RF) power amplifiers
(sometimes called linears or linear amplifiers); or
(2) Any other devices which, when used with a
radio transmitter as a signal source, are capable of
amplifying the signal.
(b) There are no exceptions to this rule and use of a
power amplifier voids your authority to operate the
station.
(c) The FCC will presume you have used a linear or
other external RF power amplifier if—
(1) It is in your possession or on your premises; and
(2) There is other evidence that you have operated

your CB station with more power than allowed by CB
Rule 10, § 95.410.
(d) Paragraph (c) of this section does not apply if you
hold a license in another radio service which allows you
to operate an external RF power amplifier.
§ 95.412 (CB Rule 12) What communications may
be transmitted?
(a) You may use your CB station to transmit two-
way plain language communications. Two-way plain
language communications are communications without
codes or coded messages. Operating signals such
as ''ten codes'' are not considered codes or coded
messages. You may transmit two-way plain language
communications only to other CB stations, to units
of your own CB station or to authorized government
stations on CB frequencies about—
(1) Your personal or business activities or those of
members of your immediate family living in your
household;
(2) Emergencies (see CB Rule 18, § 95.418)
(3) Traveler assistance (see CB Rule 18, § 95.418); or
(4) Civil defense activities in connection with official
tests or drills conducted by, or actual emergencies
announced by, the civil defense agency with authority
over the area in which your station is located.
(b) You may use your CB station to transmit a tone
signal only when the signal is used to make contact
or to continue communications. (Examples of circuits
using these signals are tone operated squelch and
selective calling circuits.) If the signal is an audible
tone, it must last no longer than 15 seconds at one
time. If the signal is a subaudible tone, it may be
