for emergency communications or for
traveler assistance.
(c) You must, at all times and on
all channels, give priority to emergency
communication messages concerning
the immediate safety of life or the
immediate protection of property.
(d) You may use any channel
for emergency communications or for
traveler assistance.
Page 3
(e) You must share each channel
with other users.
(f) The FCC will not assign any
channel for the private or exclusive use
of any particular CB station or group of
stations.
(g) The FCC will not assign any
channel for the private of exclusive use of
CB stations transmitting single sideband
or AM.
Sec. 95.408 (CB Rule 8) How high may
I put my antenna?
(a) Antenna means the radiating
system (for transmitting, receiving or
both) and the structure holding it up
(tower, pole or mast). It also means
everything else attached to the radiating
system and the structure.
(b) If your antenna is mounted on
a hand-held portable unit, none of the
following limitations apply.
(c) If your antenna is installed at
a fixed location, it (whether receiving,
transmitting or both) must comply with
either one of the following:
(1) The highest point must not be
more than 6.10 meters (20 feet) higher
than the highest point of the building or
tree on which it is mounted; or
(2) The highest point must not be
more than 18.3 meters (60 feet) above
the ground.
(d) If your CB station is located near
an airport, and if you antenna structure is
more than 6.1 meters (20 feet) high, you
may have to obey additional restrictions.
The highest point of your antenna must
not exceed one meter above the airport
elevation for every hundred meters of
distance from the nearest point of the
nearest airport runway. Differences in
ground elevation between your antenna
and the airport runway may complicate
this formula. If your CB station is near
an airport, you may contact the nearest
FCC field office for a worksheet to help
you figure the maximum allowable height
of your antenna. Consult part 17 of the
FCC’s Rules for more information.
WARNING: Installation and removal of
CB station antennas near powerlines
is dangerous. For your safety, follow
the installation directions included
with your antenna.
[48 FR 24894, June 3, 1983, as amended
at 48 FR 41416, Sept. 15, 1983]
Sec. 95.409 (CB Rule 9) What
equipment may I use at my CB
station?
(a) You must use an FCC
certificated CB transmitter at your
CB station. You can identify an
FCC certificated transmitter by the
certification 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, Sec. 95.425). Any internal
modification to a certificated CB
transmitter cancels the certification,
and use of such a transmitter voids
your authority to operate the station.
[48 FR 24894, June 3, 1983, as
amended at 63 FR 36610, July 7,
1998]
Sec. 95.410 (CB Rule 10) How much
power may I use?
(a) Your CB station transmitter
power output must not exceed the
following values under any conditions:
AM (A3)—4 watts (carrier power)
SSB—12 watts (peak envelope power)
(b) If you need more information
about the power rule, see the technical
rules in subpart E of part 95.
(c) Use of a transmitter which
has carrier or peak envelope power in
excess of that authorized voids your
authority to operate the station.
Sec. 95.411 (CB Rule 11) May I use
power amplifiers?
(a) You may not attach the
following items (power amplifiers) to
your certificated CB transmitter in any
way:
(1) External radio frequency (RF)
power amplifiers (sometimes called
linears or linear amplifiers); or
(2) Any other devices which,
when used with a radio transmitter
as a signal source, are capable of
amplifying 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 external RF
power amplifier if—
(1) It is in your possession or on
your premises; and
(2) There is other evidence that
you have operated your CB station
with more power than allowed by CB
Rule 10, Sec. 95.410.
(d) Paragraph (c) of this section
does not apply if you hold a license
in another radio service which allows
you to operate an external RF power
amplifier.
[48 FR 24894, June 3, 1983, as
amended at 63 FR 36610, July 7,
1998]
Sec. 95.412 (CB Rule 12) What
communications
may
be
transmitted?
(a) You may use your CB
station to transmit two-way plain
language communications. Two-way
plain language communications are
communications without codes or
coded messages. Operating signals
such as “ten codes” are not considered
codes or coded messages. You may
transmit two-way plain language
communications only to other CB
stations, to units of your own CB
station or to authorized government
stations on CB frequencies about—
(1) Your personal or business
activities or those of members of
your immediate family living in your
household;
(2) Emergencies (see CB Rule
18, Sec. 95.418);
(3) Traveler assistance (see CB
Rule 18, Sec. 95.418); or
