You should thank Chad, and yes it is there , but using your excuse the
FCC agent who certifys radios ****ed up and let this one slip by, it also

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...

Educate me.



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.
