The Citizens Band Radio Service is
under the jurisdiction of the Federal
Communications Commission
(F.C.C.). Any adjustments or modifi-
cations which would alter the perfor-
mance of the transceiver's original
F.C.C. Type Acceptance or which
would change the frequency-deter-
mining method are strictly prohibit-
ed. Replacement or substitution of
Crystals, Transistors, IC, Regulator
Diodes or any other part of unique
nature with parts other than those
recommended may cause violation
of the technical regulation of Part 95
of the F.C.C. Rules or Violation of
Type Acceptance requirements of
Part 2 of the Rules.
Elimination of licensing
The Federal Communications Com-
mission (F.C.C.) has ruled that Citizens
Band Radio Service Operators no long-
er are required to obtain an F.C.C. li-
cense to operate their CB equipment.
In doing so, the F.C.C. also decided to
permit CB station operation without sta-
tion identification. Elimination of individ-
ual station license results in no
AUDIO SYSTEM AND CB RADIO
lessening of the operating privileges or
responsibilities of CB users. An opera-
tor of a CB radio station is still required
to comply with the Communications Act
and with the rules of CB Radio Service.
