Default is an STA needed to transmit data on CB channel 40?

The CB band is close enough to the 10m amateur band ,such that when the
test
is done within the amateur band it would also be valid for the CB band .
Although you might have to do the test in the 10m amateur band with 300
baud ,whereas in the CB band you could use 1200 Baud.
Unless the 300 Baud limit in amateur allocated HF bands has been / can
be lifted.

===============================================

While I am more than willing to test this setup out for my brother on a
pair of CB radios, I told him I might need an STA from the FCC to
communicate data on CB channel 40. He tells me that in an emergency,
anyone can use any frequencies they want, any power, any mode. I told
him true, but that does not help me as an OEM getting fined for testing
out an emergency scenario in a nonemergency situation.

Suggestions?
