Rule 13 - Illegal Communications

{A} You must NOT use a CB station-
[1] in connection with activity which is against federal, state or
local law;
[2] to transmit obscene, indecent or profane words, language or
meaning;
[3] to interfere intentionally with the communications of another CB
station;
[4] to transmit one-way communications, EXCEPT for emergency
communications, traveler assistance, brief tests (radio checks) or voice
paging;
[5] to advertise or solicit the sale of any goods or services;
[6] to transmit music, whistling, sound effects or any material to
amuse or entertain;
[7] to transmit any sound effect solely to attract attention;
[8] to transmit the word "MAYDAY" or use any other international
distress signal, EXCEPT when your station is located in a ship, aircraft
or other vehicle which is threatened with GRAVE AND IMMINENT danger and
you are requesting IMMEDIATE assistance.
[9] to communicate with, or ATTEMPT to communicate with, any CB
station more than 155.3 miles (250 kilometers) away
[10] to advertise a political candidate or political campaign (You
may use your CB radio for the business or organizational aspects of a
campaign, if you follow all other applicable rules);
[11] to communicate with stations in other countries, except
stations in Canada (on General Radio Service).
[12] to transmit a false or deceptive communication.
{B} You must not use a CB station to transmit communications intended for
live or delayed rebroadcast on radio or television. You may use your CB
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.

But if I don't confuse him with the facts, then what method should I use?

Disseminating information is the easiest cure for ignorance.

You could confuse him by refusing mopey's advances at the Petro. That
would go against your whole creed.

Yup. The rules clearly state INTERNAL modifications.
It says nothing of external add ons.
However, it does state, "NO SOUND EFFECTS".
So after a 10 minute disertation, you end with, "This is a radio check. beep
beep".

It does say "no sound effects" in that you are correct. But if you read
to the end of the sentence, it also says that said sound effects should
not be to entertain, etc, etc, etc...

I stand by my statement that a roger beep used for its intended purpose,
which is to signify the end of a transmission, is not illegal. Annoying
as hell in some cases, but not illegal.

True.

External electronics can accomplish this. Microphones do not
have to be type accepted and can include this circuitry.


They can also add echo and other sound effects which are clearly an
"amusement" device. The FCC knows that it cannot certify every
conceivable accessory that might be connected to the mike jack. So
they regulate what you transmit, not what gets connected to the radio.


2. Roger beeps used for their intended purpose (that is, signaling the
end of a transmission) are not used "simply to attract attention", are

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?

A valid ETS signal should consist of no more than a single short beep.
The multiple "K" beeps and those sequential musical tones clearly
still fall within the "amusement" category.

Many years ago the FCC stated that they considered ANY tone signal
other than one used for selective calling as "unnecessary" and
therefore illegal. They may have softened their position on it since.
This was back in the days before roger beeps became popular, but
little devices known as "birdies" were prevalent.

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.

In any case, the FCC does not seem to be overly interested in much
concerning CB radio these days.

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?
