ILLEGAL CB TRANSCEIVER LIST
The FCC's Office of Engineer and Technology (OET) has evaluated the
devices listed below and has concluded that these devices are not only
amateur transceivers but can easily be altered for use as Citizens Band
(CB) transceivers as well. As such, OET has further concluded that
these devices cannot legally be imported or marketed within the United
States for the reasons discussed below. Further, the FCC General
Council has issued a decision in a specific case involving one
manufacturer and has concluded that dual use CB and amateur radios of
the kind at issue may not be approved under the Commission's rules
and are in violation of several rules including the RF power level
limits of 47 CFR 95.639. (letter from Christopher J. Wright, FCC-OGC
to John F. Atwood, US Customs Service, dated May 17, 1999).
Transceivers used in the Amateur Radio Service below 30 MHz do not
require FCC authorization prior to being imported into or marketed
within the United States, but transceivers for other services,
including the CB Radio Service (CB), do require Commission approval.
The transceivers listed herein and other similar models operate in the
amateur "10-meter band" and are often referred to as "10-meter" radios
or "export" radios. The amateur 10-meter band uses frequencies that
are very close to the channels set aside for use in the CB service.
Some of the transceivers that manufacturers call "10-meter" radios
either operate on CB frequencies as manufactured and imported or are
designed such that internal circuits can readily be activated by a
user, a service technician or a dealer to operate on CB frequencies.
According to Section 95.603(c) of the Commission's rules, a CB
transmitter is a transmitter that operates or is intended to operate at
a station authorized for the CB service. 47C.F.R. =A7 95.603(c). The
Commission's equipment authorization experts in the FCC Laboratory
have determined that the transceivers listed herein and other similar
models at issue here are intended for use on the CB frequencies as well
as those in the amateur service because they have built-in capability
to operate on CB frequencies. This capability can be readily activated
by moving or removing a jumper plug, cutting or splicing a wire,
plugging in a connector, or other simple means. Thus, all the
transceivers listed herein and similar models fall within the
definition of a CB transmitter. See 47C.F.R. =A7 95.603(c). A CB
transmitter must be certificated by the FCC prior to marketing or
importation. 47 C.F.R. =A7=A7 95.603(c); 2.803.
