Operating Rules and Regulations Two-way FM radio systems must be operated in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). As an operator of two-way radio equipment, you must be thoroughly familiar with the rules that apply to your particular type of radio operation. Following these rules will help eliminate confusion and will assure the most efficient use of existing radio channels. This will provide a smooth operating radio network.

Using the radio to send personal messages (except in an emergency) is a violation of FCC rules. Send only those messages essential for the business operation. 6. It is against the Federal law to repeat or otherwise make known anything overheard on the radio. Conversations between others sharing your channel must be regarded as confidential.
