COMMISSION (CONTINUED)
PART 95_PERSONAL RADIO SERVICES--Table of Contents
Subpart D_Citizens Band (CB) Radio Service
Sec. 95.424 (CB Rule 24) How do I have my CB station transmitter
serviced?
(a) You may adjust an antenna to your CB transmitter and you may
make radio checks. (A radio check means a one way transmission for a
short time in order to test the transmitter.)
(b) You are responsible for the proper operation of the station at
all times and are expected to provide for observations, servicing and
maintenance as often as may be necessary to ensure proper operation. You
must have all internal repairs or internal adjustments to your CB
transmitter made in accordance with the Technical Regulations (see
subpart E). The internal repairs or internal adjustments should be
performed by or under the immediate supervision and responsibility of a
person 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.
(c) Except as provided in paragraph (d) of this section, each
internal repair and each internal adjustment of a CB transmitter in
which signals are transmitted must be made using a nonradiating
(``dummy'') antenna.
(d) Brief test signals (signals not longer than one minute during
any five minute period) using a radiating antenna may be transmitted in
order to:
(1) Adjust an antenna to a transmitter;
(2) Detect or measure radiation of energy other than the intended
signal; or
(3) Tune a receiver to your CB transmitter.
