[4] to transmit one-way communications, EXCEPT for emergency

[10] to advertise a political candidate or political campaign (You
may use your CB radio for the business or organizational aspects of a

[12] to transmit a false or deceptive communication.
{B} You must not use a CB station to transmit communications intended for

station to gather news items or to prepare programs.



Rule 25 - Modifications to Transmitters

{A} You must not make or have any one else make any internal modification
to your CB transmitter.
{B} Internal modification does NOT include:
[1] Repair, or servicing of a CB station transmitter; or
[2] Changing plug-in modules which were type-accepted as part of
your CB transmitter
{C} You must not operate a CB transmitter which has been modified by
anyone in any way, including modification to operate on unauthorized
frequencies or with illegal power.


Not so sure they're 100% illegal:

1. It doesn't take internal modifications to transmit a roger beep on a
CB radio. External electronics can accomplish this. Microphones do not
have to be type accepted and can include this circuitry.

2. Roger beeps used for their intended purpose (that is, signaling the
end of a transmission) are not used "simply to attract attention", are
not intended to entertain, and do not violate any part of either of
these sections.

You might want to rethink some of your statements before you put them
out here, not-not-Jorge. In this case, you're not 100% correct.
