I'm not sure why this thread is even being cross-posted into a CB group,
but
to answer your question, in the US, the radio must be serviced by a
qualified, licensed individual. That is the "legal" way of doing it
anyway.
It doesn't happen very often, but that is another story for another
time...



Get a new rule book like one that is newer than say about 10 or so years.
The CB radios in the US has not required a license to repair them in many
years. The GROL is the replacement for the 1st and 2 nd class licenses
that
used to be required to repair many transmitters. For about 95 % of the
transmitters in the US it is now worthless and not needed. Some
companies
may require it as they think they are getting someone that may know
something. Now it is only needed for :


OK, if you want to get technical, a "license" per-say is not needed, though
they still need to be "certified as technically qualified to perform
transmitter maintenance and repair duties in the private land mobile
services and fixed services by an organization or committee representative
of users in those services." - Reference FCC Part 95, Section 95.424
subsection "b".

And as the question that was asked, in relation to the US:
"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[?]"
The answer to the first part of the question is still NO, and the second
part is still, YES. The "average CB'er who has the knowledge" can NOT
service their own CB, legally. They would need to be "certified" to do so
"by an organization or committee representative of users in [the CB
service]."
