Important Note
Your Albrecht AE 4200 ASQ corresponds to the latest European CB standards. As a
unique feature, our standard version has a software country switching which allows
selecting the operation mode according to the country, where you intend to use the
radio. Please make sure that you use only the country switching which is allowed in
your country and according to your CB licence!
You may risk a penalty if authority
members will find that you are operating in not allowed modes!
During first use of this radio, the radio will start in this factory preselected 40
FM / 40 AM mode:
40/40
40 channels FM / 4 Watt, 40 channels AM 4 W according to
latest European Standard EN 300 433-2, but not yet applied in all
countries. Only In Italy and Spain you still need a licence to
operate the radio, while it is already free of charges and licence
in Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Germany, Estonia,
Finland, France , Greece, Ireland, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania,
Luxembourg, Monaco, the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal,
Romania, Slovenia, Switzerland (starting with 2013) and
Liechtenstein. The radio comes ready for the new AM output
power of 4 Watts. Depending on the date when your country will
adopt the new European power levels, it may happen that AM is
not yet allowed to use officially in certain countries.
80/40
80 channels FM / 4 Watt, 40 channels AM / 4 W for Germany,
also for CZ (only FM) and SK (only FM 1-40 & 70-80) allowed to
use. You need no more any licence to operate the radio in this
mode, but in certain German border regions transmitting from
base stations on channels 41 to 80 in FM is not allowed (or only
with a special license).
40 FM
40 channels FM / 4 Watt (former “CEPT” settings with 40
Channels FM according to EN 300 135-2). This mode can be
used in all European countries (please see our latest issue of the
“Radio Passport”).
Please note that some countries may not allow the country switching to
German 80 channels. In October 2012, only Austria still published
restrictions to use radios with country switches within Austria.
