Cobra 29 LTD BT Operations Instructions download pdf

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

“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.
