I wonder where the law stands as far as CB radio's go. Are CB's allowed
to
be repaired by the average CB'er who has the knowledge or are they only
repairable by a qualified technician of some kind. I ask along the lines
of
the UK but would find the answer for America just as interesting.

I can't answer your question, but perhaps this is one of those cases
where it is better not to ask, but to carry on as before. Having a
piece of gear repaired by a certified authority will probably cost
more than buying a new one....

Thanks for that, quick answer too )
I would agree about the cost from a Certified Authority as most CB's in the
UK are only worth between $26 - $52 and the repair bill from a qualified
"tech" would be more than this... and would they indeed bother as they could
make far more money with the same effort repairing other items more
valuable...
I was just curious as to the legallity of repairing a CB. I wasnt admitting
to anything.. honest .... ;o)

LOL!

Unfortunately, Amateur Radio has seen increasing restrictions placed
on it due to people seeking 'clarification' from the authorities,
rather than enjoying freedom given by the sometimes loosely-worded
regulations....
