Cobra Electronics Corporation
6500 West Cortland Street
Chicago, IL 60707 USA
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 "broadcasts" (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 diodes
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 operating
your Cobra radio, even though the FCC no longer requires
you to obtain an operator's license.
