Description

The Citizens Band Radio Service is under the jurisdiction of the
Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Any adjustments or
alterations which would alter the performance of the transceiver’s
original FCC certification, or which would change the frequency
determining method, are strictly prohibited. Replacement or
substitution of crystal, transistors, ICs, regulator diodes, or any
other part of a unique nature, with parts other than those
recommend by Uniden, may cause violations of the technical
regulations in Part 95 of the FCC Rules or in violation of
certification requirements in Part 2 of the rules.

The FCC has ruled that CB Radio Service operators are no longer required to
obtain an FCC License to operate their CB equipment. In doing so, the FCC
also decided to permit CB station operation without station identification.

Elimination of individual station licenses does not reduce the operating
privileges or responsibilities of CB users. An operator of a CB radio station is
still required to comply with the Communications Act and with the rules of
Citizens Band Radio Service.
