  • unit in his vehicle. During inspections conducted on April 2, 2002 and November 5, 2002, Seattle Office agents determined that Mr. Spiry was operating transmitters that were not FCC certified in violation of Section 95.409 of the Commission's Rules (``Rules''), and that Mr. Spiry was operating with a linear amplifier attached to his CB radio transmitter in violation of Section 95.411 of the Rules. During both inspections, Mr. Spiry was advised that his use of unauthorized and non-certified equipment voided his blanket authority to operate his CB station. Additionally, on each occasion, the agents issued a Notice of Unlicensed Operation to Mr. Spiry to further inform him that the unauthorized operation would be considered unlicensed operation in violation of Section 301

  • transmitter output must not exceed 4 watts carrier power. Section 95.410(c) of the Rules also states that use of a transmitter which has carrier power in excess of that authorized voids your authority to operate the station. On July 18, and September 28, 2006, Mr. Duckworth's station carrier power was measured to be 106 watts and 2500 watts, respectively. Section 95.411(a)(1) of the Rules prohibits attaching an external radio frequency (RF) power amplifier, sometimes called a linear amplifier, to a CB transmitter in any way. Section 95.411(b) of the Rules states that there are no exceptions to this rule and use of a power amplifier voids your authority to operate the station. On July 18 and September 28, 2006, agents observed

  • operated his CB station with two non-certificated transmitters that had a power output of seven and eight watts (carrier power), respectively. On June 4, 2007, Mr. Ross was warned that operation of his CB station with a non-certificated transmitter and with a power level greater than authorized violated the Rules and voided his authority to operate his CB station. Section 95.411(a) of the Rules states that you may not attach external radio frequency (RF) power amplifiers to your certificated CB transmitter in any way. Section 95.411(b) of the Rules states that there are no exceptions to this rule and that use of a power amplifier voids your authority to operate the station.

  • our Rules at a time when the Citizens Band (CB) Radio Service was the primary service that individuals used to satisfy their personal communication needs. The Commission adopted these Rules in 1978 to prevent commercial manufacturers from marketing to CB Radio Service users RF power amplifiers that had been approved for use at amateur stations. We note, however, that Section 95.411 of our Rules already satisfies the policy objectives sought by Sections 97.315 and 97.317. Specifically, Section 95.411 of our Rules prohibits, under any circumstances, an individual from attaching an external RF power amplifier or any device capable of amplifying the signal to a CB transmitter. Thus, an individual who uses an amplifier at a CB Radio Service station would violate

During inspections conducted on April 2, 2002 and November 5, 2002, Seattle Office agents determined that Mr. Spiry was operating transmitters that were not FCC certified in violation of Section 95.409 of the Commission's Rules (``Rules''), and that Mr. Spiry was operating with a linear amplifier attached to his CB radio transmitter in violation of Section 95.411 of the Rules. During both inspections, Mr. Spiry was advised that his use of unauthorized and non-certified equipment voided his blanket authority to operate his CB station. Additionally, on each occasion, the agents issued a Notice of Unlicensed Operation to Mr. Spiry to further inform him that the unauthorized operation would be considered unlicensed operation in violation of Section 301
