DesCription

Your Uniden Bearcat 880 represents the highest quality communications
device designed for use in the Citizens Band Radio Service. It will
operate on any of the 40 AM frequencies authorized by the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC).
The Citizens Band Radio Service is under the jurisdiction of the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC). Any adjustments or alterations which would
alter the performance of the transceiver's original FCC type acceptance, or which
would change the frequency determining method, are strictly prohibited.
Replacement or substitution of crystal, transistors, ICs, regulator diodes, or any
other part of a unique nature, with parts other than those recommend by Uniden,
may cause violations of the technical regulations in Part 95 of the FCC Rules or in
violation of type acceptance requirements in Part 2 of the rules.

elimination of liCensing

The FCC has ruled that CB Radio Service operators are no longer required
to obtain an FCC License to operate their CB equipment. In doing so, the
FCC now also permits CB station operation without station identification.
Elimination of individual station licenses does not reduce the operating
privileges or responsibilities of CB users. An operator of a CB radio station
is still required to comply with the Communications Act and with the
rules of Citizens Band Radio Service.
