Albrecht - Leading in new ideas:
Albrecht has consequently applied the European R&TTE
directive and it’s possibilities, which has replaced the
former national approval mark systems by the European
CE marking system. All Albrecht Multi-Standard CB radios
have a country switch system and can be used in most
European countries in (minimum) one of the 3 or more
available switch positions: It depends on the member
state’s frequency application, which of the country switch
position(s) you may use in the region where you are: 40
CH FM everywhere and in some countries, which do not
yet allow AM or SSB, 40 FM/40 AM/40 SSB in nearly all
countries (the EN 300 433 Standard) and 80/12 (covering
the additional German channels 41 to 80 inside of Germa-
ny except base station use in defined border regions).
My hobby CB-Radio
Some Restrictions apply on use of the 80 German chan-
nels: channel numbers 41 to 80 may unfortunately not be
used everywhere: in the border areas of the neighbouring
countries, apart from the Czech Republic: Base stations
are not allowed to transmit in border regions on these
channels, or you need a special licence of the German
authority (BNetzA).

Using your radio set in other countries
Even with the common CE marking, there are still some
special national requirements in a few countries. Manu-
facturers have been obliged to inform users clearly by
statements on the gift box and in the user manual about
regional restrictions to use CB radio. Albrecht has issued
a unique „Radio Passport“ which will always provide you
with the latest relevant information with your CB radio.
The „Radio Passport“ can be downloaded at any time from
the Albrecht homepage as a real help in police controls
to show that your radio is legal. Users are responsible to
have an official licence, where necessary (see country list
in the user manuals) and to use only the allowed channel
combinations in multi-standard radios.
New CB regulation:
Now the high power mode is permitted in Germany as
well as all other EU member states and most CEPT coun-
tries in the future:
FM (4 Watts), AM (4 Watts) and SSB (12 Watts) as well in
all EU member states and most CEPT countries in future.
All Albrecht CB radios are prepared to meet the new
standard‘s higher output power levels and the radios
can be switched to the new limits as soon as they will be
published.
On the road again...
Do you travel across Europe? On the road? You want to communicate with others?
You want to get the latest news about the road-condition by other CB users?
In some german states (Bavaria, North
Rhine-Westphalia and Saxony) a CB
radio waning system for construction
sites has been established for accident
prevention on german highways. A
transmitter, the corepart of the system,
sends repetitiously recorded voice war-
nings within the range of 300 m of the
construction area to enhance alertness
of approaching drivers about the dan-
ger of the coming scene. The message
„Attention Construction Site“ can be
broadcasted on different channels in
seven different languages.
Statistics state that 75% of all trucks
have a cb mobile radio aboard. Polish
trucks amount to 96% while in Ger-
many registered trucks make up 65%.
All ALBRECHT and MIDLAND CB
mobile radios can receive these
warning messages.
