The Citizens Band lies between the shortwave 

broadcast and 10-meter Amateur radio  bands, 

and was established by law in 1949. The Class D 

two-way communications service was opened in 

1959. (CB also includes a Class A citizens band  

and Class C remote control frequencies.) 

FCC Regulations

FCC regulations permit only “transmissions”  

(one party to another) rather than “broadcasts”  

(to a wide audience). Thus, advertising is not 

allowed on CB Channels because that is “broad-

casting.”   

FCC Warnings 

All transmitter adjustments other than those  

supplied by the manufacturer as front panel  

operating controls, must be made by, or under  

the supervision of, the holder of an FCC-issued 

General Radio-Telephone Operator’s License.
Replacement or substitution of transistors, regu-

lar diodes or other parts of a unique nature, with 

parts other than those recommended by Cobra, 

may cause violation of the technical regulations  

of Part 95 of the FCC Rules, or violation of Type 

Acceptance requirements of Part 2 of the Rules.
You should read and understand Part 95 (included 

with this unit) of the FCC Rules and Regulations, 

before operating your Cobra radio, even though 

the FCC no longer requires you to obtain an oper-

ator’s license.
