Operation Manual

2. There is other evidence that you have operated your CB
station with more power than allowed by CB Rule 10, Sec.
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.
Sec. 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 commu-
nications are communications without codes or coded mes-
sages. 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, Sec. 95.418);
3. Traveler assistance (see CB Rule 18, Sec. 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 commu-
nications. (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 transmitted
continuously only as long as you are talking.
(c) You may use your CB station to transmit one-way commu-
nications (messages which are not intended to establish com-
munications between two or more particular CB stations) only
for emergency communications, traveler assistance, brief tests
(radio checks) or voice paging.
Sec. 95.413 (CB Rule 13) What communications are prohib-
ited?
(a) You must not use a CB station:
1. In connection with any activity which is against federal,
state or local law;
2. To transmit obscene, indecent or profane words, language
or meaning;
3. To interfere intentionally with the communications of
another CB station;
