No, not everyone. There was no definitive rule that specifically

There's no definitive rule that allows chrome knobs and black paint on
CB radios, either. The problem is your warped logic, Dave -- absence
of evidence does -not- constitute proof of the opposite. When are you
going to realize this fundamental flaw in your thought process?

So you never believed that noise toys were illegal? Could not the use
of a Roger Beep not be addressed in 95.412 and 95.413?


Only if you define it as such. The FCC doesn't, which should have been
painfully clear when it was proven that they authorized a CB radio
with the feature.

Galaxy has a reputation for "pushing the limit" when it comes to
radios and their legalities. Just look at their list of "export"
radios. The fact that most mainstream radios did NOT have such a
feature was enough for me to remain suspicious. I was also informed by
an FCC official 20-some years back that they considered any "tone or
noise" not specifically addressed in 95.412 (b) to be illegal.
Obviously that feeling is no longer true, but it was the basis for my
initial feeling on the subject.

But I stand corrected now.
