10 meter radio or cb?

[crazyturtleman]

What is the difference between 10 meter radio and a cb. And do you need a ham radio license to use a 10 meter radio legally. And if so if you have a ham license can you run a 10 meter radio in a truck.

You need a license to run a 10 meter legally, and yes, if you have a license, you can run one legally in a truck.

Clarification: A licensed amateur radio operator may use a "10 Meter" radio on the 10 Meter band. He may not operate a "10 Meter" radio ON CB frequencies, nor may he use the radio in "dual" service. IOW, a Galaxy 99V may not be used on the 10 Meter band AND on the CB band as well.
One is required by Part 95, title 47, US Code (the CB radio rules) to use ONLY an FCC-approved, 4 watt, 40 channel CB radio on CB.

We don't want to imply that amateur radio operators have some special privileges with reference to the channelized and so-called "10 Meter" radios. Rather, they must follow the rules for Amateur Radio (Part 97) and follow the rules for CB (Part 95) when engaged in that activity same as any other user.

I guess now I'll have toss my 88. Oh wait! I maybe could still use it as a wheel chock, or, an anchor for my bass boat.

I'm gonna' miss all my long distance chats with all those other truckers.

You know, this could be a real boom for NEXTEL. Beep-Beep...
