Owner's Manual

(See CB Rule 25, § 95.425).
Any internal modification to
a certificated CB transmitter
cancels the certification, and use
of such a transmitter voids your
authority to operate the station.
§ 95.410 (CB Rule 10) How much
power may I use?
(a) Your CB station transmitter
power output must not exceed
the following values under any
conditions:
AM (A3)-4 watts (carrier
power)
SSB-12 watts (peak envelope
power)
(b) If you need more
information about the power rule,
see the technical rules in subpart
E of part 95.
( c) Use of a transmitter which
has carrier or peak envelope
power in excess of that authorized
voids your authority to operate
the station.

power amplifiers?

(RF) power amplifiers (sometimes
called linears or linear amplifiers);
or
(2) Any other devices
which, when used with a radio
transmitter as a signal source, are
capable of amplifying the signal.
(b) There are no exceptions
to this rule and use of a power
amplifier voids your authority to
operate the station.
( c) The FCC will presume
you have used a linear or other
external RF power amplifier if-
( 1) It is in your possession or
on your premises; and
(2) There is other evidence
that you have operated your CB
station with more power than
allowed by CB Rule 10, § 95.410.
( d) Paragraph ( c) of this section
does not apply if you hold a
license in another adio service

external RF power amplifier.

communications may be
transmitted?
