certificated transmitter by the cer—
tification label placed on it by the
manufacturer. You may examine
a list of certificated equipment at
any FCC Field Office or at FCC
Headquarters. Use of a transmitter
which is not FCC certificated
voids your authority to operate
the station,
(b) You must not make, or have
made, any internal modification to
a certificated CB transmitter. (See
CB Rule 25.) Any internal modifi-
cation to a certificated CB trans-
mitter cancels the certification.

(2) Any other devices which, when
used with a radio transmitter as a
signal source, are capable of ampli—
fying 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 exter-
nal RF power amplifier if -
(1) It is in your possession or
