Yhe voice of truth and reason.

No Steve the voice of obfuscation and BS the


FCC clearly states what the requirments are in
their laws, Galaxy are export radios they are


not type certified cb's


If you new the law, you would know the FCC most certainly permits the
new Galaxy cb radios. There is a base and a mobile cb radio only by
Galaxy that is type accepted. You, as always, are clueless, in the dark,
and uninformed. The burden of finding the information and educating
yourself is up to you, but you can always continue to run your mouth as
if you knew what you were talking about.


Twistedhed January 18th 05 03:45 PM

But it's evidently not clear to most radio

manufacturers since, with the exception of the


Galaxy (Galaxy also has a reputation for


pushing the limits of the law) radio, no other


domestic type accepted/approved CB radio


has an ETS as standard equipment.


One has


to wonder why that is, if they are clearly legal.



Not "one" only *you* have to wonder..the rest of the hammies in the
world already know the answer to this. You (and your sock puppet)
are the only one crying about a roger beep being illegal.

In any case, the FCC does not seem to be


overly interested in much concerning CB radio
these days.

Which has nothing to do with your gaffe, although, based on your words
above, it most certainly appears that after redundantly repeating and
explaining that the FCC does not enact rules telling what IS permitted
(as was your criteria for claiming roger beeps were illegal), you are
slowly accepting what everyone has been telling you...roger beeps are
illegal.

So anyway, what tone do you like in illegal roger beeps? Personally, I
prefer 103.5, not obtrusive, and if you use a really good woofer (15" or
larger), you get that thump. 1k is way too tweety.


Someone around here is using the old EBS tones with a decay of about
two seconds. Very unique.

I've been thinking about building something like a 'CB caller-ID' box.
Data could be sent at 1200 baud FSK at the beginning and end of each
transmission. That data could include an email addy, callsign, or even
just a handle. It would be really cool during a net to see the names
pop up in a list on a display.

Mine plays two lines of'I wish I wuz in Dixie'.

It's illegal because any form of free entertainment or amusement is a
direct attack on the free-enterprise system by the liberals who want
to weaken the corporate stronghold on the entertainment industry. So
the US government (whose sole purpose is to "protect, facilitate and
represent our interests in the world market") has disallowed any free
entertainment and amusement in non-profit venues, including CB radio.

How could you not see that, Dave?

Galaxy DX2547, 100% FCC accepted, has a roger beep, indicator light for it,

Try this link dimwit, this is the one that counts. And I made it easy for

Just saw this after I posted about the 2547.

Mine has the FCC sticker on it. Also, they are tough to mod for freeband
use, NO MODS HERE! it can be done but they have the tendency to self
destruct. They have made some changes to the unit in the past few years,
wonder if that gained acceptance? I can get a pic with the sticker on it.

I have also seen the 2547 listed as a "FCC accepted CB base" and "Export
only" It's essentially a mobile in a big case, wonder if there are
different versions floating around?

How could you not see that, Dave?



Give it a rest Frank. We're not talking about politics anymore.



I see that -you- aren't talking about politics anymore because you
refuse to accept any facts; e.g., the fact here is that you are
looking at the wrong rule:


This is where the controversy is. Your assessment is valid, and it
would seem that since the FCC has allowed ETS signals on FRS radios,
(which also fall under part 95) that it would also stand to reason
that they would allow them on class "D" CB as well. The question is
why have they not made their position clear in the form of a rule
modification?



FRS radios have such tones because they are permitted by this rule:

"Sec. 95.193 (b) The FRS unit may transmit tones to make contact or
to continue communications with a particular FRS unit....."

CB radio has an identical rule:

"Sec. 95.412 (b) You may use your CB station to transmit a tone
signal only when the signal is used to make contact or to continue
communications....."

So it should be obvious that if any radio with a "roger-beep" is
accepted, the tone is considered to be a tool that is used to
-facilitate- communications, a purpose which is consistent with the
above rule(s).

And another fact: I brought this same issue to your attention almost a
year ago..... in -THIS- newsgroup.

No


Tone Squelch -Is a generic name for many "Sub-audible tone systems". The
principle is that a receiver will not allow any audio to be routed to the
speaker unless it is accompanied by the appropriate sub-audible tone.
(Also see: CTCSS, ETS & PL)

CTCSS - "Continuous Tone Coded Squelch System" CTCSS is a series of
sub-audible tones which are standard on most new radios. An audible
cousin
of CTCSS is DTMF. These tones often perform control functions. Some
repeaters may require a sub-audible tone before activating, others use it
to perform functions such as turning all trunks on and off when a
specific tone is present. (Also see: Tone Squelch, ETS & PL)

ETS - "Electronic Tone Squelch" is the Canadian Marconi Company version
of
tone squelch. ETS is a series of sub-audible tones which has the ability
of performing control functions. (Also see, Tone Squelch, CTCSS & PL.)


Do I need to point it out? Am I the only one that sees it?

According to your first "definition" up there, Sub-Audible Tone System
(SATS) = CTCSS = PL.

In fact, all of my ICOM and Alinco manuals equate PL with CTCSS and
define them with the same definition you attribute to SATS.

Or were you confusing CTCSS with DTS?

It occurs to me that he may be right. Just because the radio includes
a roger-beep (or some other noise function) may not exclude it from an
equipment authorization because the operator can turn it off.

Galaxy DX2547, 100% FCC accepted, has a roger beep, indicator light

Worthless in my eyes as the operator that says "com'on" after every

And here are a few for you Chad that radio included

Which Part 95 CB rule disallows adjustable RF power?

I would think that if the radio was only capable of 4W RMS AM Carrier /
12W SSB PEP at the MAX power setting, and was adjustable downward, it
wouldn't be that big of a deal, nor would it make the radio "illegal" or
uncertifiable...

Tell Ken.
CTCSS - "Continuous Tone Coded Squelch System" CTCSS is a series of
sub-audible tones which are standard on most new radios. An audible
cousin
of CTCSS is DTMF. These tones often perform control functions. Some
repeaters may require a sub-audible tone before activating, others use it
to perform functions such as turning all trunks on and off when a
specific
tone is present. (Also see: Tone Squelch, ETS & PL)


Hrm... this is at variance with your definition of CTCSS.

From http://www.pacres.com/ctcss.htm :

[quote begins]
CTCSS (Continuous Tone Controlled Squelch System) a sub audible tone in
the range of 67 to 254 Hz. The FM deviation level of CTCSS tones should
be in the range of 500 to 800 Hz. These tones are encoded with the voice
audio at all times during the transmission. Any one or more of the 50
tones can be used to gain access to the repeater. CTCSS decode and
encode is provided as a standard feature on all of our controllers,
using state of the art devices. All standard and non standard EIA CTCSS
tones can be decoded or encoded. You may select 1, 2, 3 or up to all 50
CTCSS decode tones to operate the repeater. You can even use CTCSS tones
and DCS codes on the same channel.
[end quote]

Here, CTCSS is defined as "a subaudible tone" "encoded with the voice
audio at all times during the transmission."

Sure sounds like your SATS definition, and PL to me...

.....huh? The radio goes back into squelch when the signal is lost
because when the signal is lost so are the tones.

I can't find any reference to a specific rule that either allows or
prohibits adjustable power.

On the one hand, if it were legal, you would think that more radios
would utilize this "feature" as a selling point.

On the other hand, many hand held radios are equipped with "hi/lo"
power switches.

In the mid 60's, a few Lafayette models had a 5W/100mW switch on the
back. But the selling point for those was that they used to claim that
you could operate your radio on the 100 mW position before your
license came back in the mail. The FCC later clarified part 15 so that
the antenna had to be self contained and less than 5 feet in length.
So that pretty much killed that purpose of that switch, and it
disappeared with the next models.

It's illegal because any form of free entertainment or amusement is a
direct attack on the free-enterprise system by the liberals who want
to weaken the corporate stronghold on the entertainment industry. So
the US government (whose sole purpose is to "protect, facilitate and
represent our interests in the world market") has disallowed any free
entertainment and amusement in non-profit venues, including CB radio.

How could you not see that, Dave?



Give it a rest Frank. We're not talking about politics anymore.



I see that -you- aren't talking about politics anymore because you
refuse to accept any facts;


What you consider "facts" is the whole point of contention.


e.g., the fact here is that you are
looking at the wrong rule:


Am I?



This is where the controversy is. Your assessment is valid, and it
would seem that since the FCC has allowed ETS signals on FRS radios,
(which also fall under part 95) that it would also stand to reason
that they would allow them on class "D" CB as well. The question is
why have they not made their position clear in the form of a rule
modification?



FRS radios have such tones because they are permitted by this rule:

"Sec. 95.193 (b) The FRS unit may transmit tones to make contact or
to continue communications with a particular FRS unit....."

CB radio has an identical rule:

"Sec. 95.412 (b) You may use your CB station to transmit a tone
signal only when the signal is used to make contact or to continue
communications....."



But you failed to print the entire rule subpart. Why this is
significant I will explain after I post it in its entirety:


"(b) You may use your CB station to transmit a tone signal only
when the signal is used to make contact or to continue communications.
(Examples of circuits using these signals are tone operated squelch
and selective calling circuits.) If the signal is an audible tone, it
must last no longer than 15 seconds at one time. If the signal is a
subaudible tone, it may be transmitted continuously only as long as
you are talking."

Now, when you look at the rule, it becomes clear what the intent of
this rule is. They are defining selective calling units, that operate
either with CTCSS or dual tone (paging style) squelch systems.
Lafayette used to sell them from the 1960's into the early 70's.

You might be able to infer that this rule also applies to roger beeps,
but you have to remember that this rule was written long before roger
beeps were even heard of on CB radio communications.

I will concede that the rule is open to a wide variety of
interpretation. It is conceivable that you MIGHT be ok if you use the
roger beep strictly as an ETS signal. The minute you start making
multiple tones, musical notes or otherwise, you fall into the category
spelled out by 95.413, prohibited transmissions subpart 6 and 7:


(6) To transmit music, whistling, sound effects or any material to
amuse or entertain;
(7) To transmit any sound effect solely to attract attention;




So it should be obvious that if any radio with a "roger-beep" is
accepted, the tone is considered to be a tool that is used to
-facilitate- communications, a purpose which is consistent with the
above rule(s).


The question remains, with the exception of the Galaxy, there are no
other domestic radios with this built in feature. If the rule was so
cut and dry, then why not add another selling point?

And another fact: I brought this same issue to your attention almost a
year ago..... in -THIS- newsgroup.


I remember the discussion. I believe it was Bert who provided the
picture of his Galaxy radio with the FCC ID number which you initially

How about because the service was intended to be a cheap-&-easy way to
get 2-way radio comm? There were literally hundreds of models WITHOUT
a control for RF gain, delta-tune, SWR, etc, etc. And the FCC used to
cite people for nothing more than failure to comply with the time-out

one of those "evil" capitalist loving conservatives who still believes
in personal responsibility.



I'm still on your side, Dave. The difference we have is that you
refuse to look at -political- issues from both sides of the coin.
Apparently your problem is migrating to CB issues; i.e, your false
claim about me stated above.

did you not read what i wrote twisty?



I did, and don't call me Twisty. Are you saying that you made a
mistake by claiming you were referring to an illegal modification
instead of a factory design feature?


No you most certainly are starting to become twistys clone I actually
thought he might have been forging you. Actually I was confused



There shouldn't be any confusion -- Twisty defends illegal radio and I
oppose it. But that doesn't answer the question: Did you make a
mistake?
