The Citizens Band Story

FCC Information

Nothing Comes Close To A Cobra®

20 XTR

Street Communicator

Operating Instructions for your

20 XTR

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.
