FCC has bigger fish to fry right now with net neutrality and what not… Rather, the FCC is getting fried for trying to capitalize on repealing net neutrality.
Swing should not Legally pass 4 watts on CB 11-Meter and not Legally pass 12 watts on Amateur SSB 10-Meter. The 12 Watts in FCC Regulations has nothing at all to do with CB 11-Meter Radios and is 3-times above what what is Legal for a CB. Don't get them confused in thinking the FCC is only talking about one type of radio. For a CB Deadkey should be 1-2 watts and 3-4 watts Swing. For an Amateur SSB Deadkey should be 4-6 watts and 10-12 watts Swing. Well, this is if you're trying to stay within Legal Limitations which for the most part is best and just properly adjust and possibly modify other components by a FCC Certified Radio Technician (NEVER by a Truck Stop CB Flop Shop Used Car Salesman so always ask to see their FCC Certificates before even letting them know the type radio you have. Hope this better helps!

Four five things that need correcting. 1 - the 4 watt limit is with a dead key, not peak power. That is an unmodulated signal. 2 - sideband or more accurately J3E emissions are limited to 12 watts peak envolpe power. The minimum power is near zero. 3 - amateur radio - ham radio - has a 1500 watt peak power limit, no matter what the mode. But there are some restrictions by band and class. 4 - there is no minimal limit for amateur radio, I've have operated on different bands with just a watt. 5 - An FCC certified tech never existed, the FCC required a first class radio telephone or telegraph license to work in CB radios (this may also have included a second class license holder). But the FCC never ever licensed a tech.
You do NOT need a commercial radio operator license to operate, repair, or maintain any of the following types of stations: Two-way land mobile radio equipment, such as that used by police and fire departments, taxicabs and truckers, businesses and industries, ambulances and rescue squads, and local, state, and federal government agencies. Personal radio equipment used in the Citizens Band Radio Service (CBRS), Radio Control Radio Service (RCRS), and General Mobile Radio Services (GMRS). Auxiliary broadcast stations, such as remote pickup stations. Domestic public fixed and mobile radio systems, such as mobile telephone systems, cellular systems, rural radio systems, point-to-point microwave systems, multipoint distribution systems, etc. Stations that operate in the Cable Television Relay Service. Satellite stations, both uplink and downlink of all types. NOTE: Possession of a commercial radio operator license or permit does not authorize an individual to operate amateur or GMRS radio stations. Only a person holding an amateur or GMRS radio operator license may operate an amateur or GMRS radio station. Commercial Radio Operator License Program leon kc0iv
I think they removed the restrictions when they created the single license to replace the three levels of licensing. But as a licensed technician, never existed.
"Most people don't realize that the National average IQ plummets when more and more people rely on others instead of learning things yourself." I guess you proved this statement to be correct with your most recent post, maybe you should of double checked on one of your military books.
