The Citizens Band lies between the shor twave
broadcast and 10-meter Amateur radio bands and
was established by law in 1949. The Class D two -
way co m m u n i cations serv i ce was opened in 1959.

FCC Regulations

FCC regulations permit only “transmissions”
(one party to another) rather than “broadcasts”
(to a wide audience). Advertising is not allowed
on CB Channels because it is considered 
“broadcasting.”

FCC Warnings 

Replacement or substitution of transistors, regular
diodes or other parts of a unique nature, with
parts other than those recommended by Cobra,
m ay cause a violation of the te c h n i cal re g u l at i o n s
of Part 95 of the FCC Rules, or violation of Ty pe
Acceptance requirements of Part 2 of the Rules .

Citizens Band (CB) Radio operators are not
required to obtain an FCC license to oper ate their
CB equipment or provide station identification.

Nevertheless, an operator of a CB radio station 
is still required to comply with the communic a-
tions act and with the rules of CB Radio Operation.
