The Citizens Band Story OFF 2 1 OFF WX ST II 3 CB Tranceiver 4 18 WX ST II Operating Instructions for your 18 WX ST II Mobile Radio with System 5 "Ingenious Products for Easier Communication." 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" broadcast" (to a wide audience). Thus, advertising is not allowed on CB channels because that is "broadcasting". 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, regular 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 operator's license.
