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.rabbiporkchop and jessejamesdallas Thank this. -
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!
(I know this is an old post but unless posts are deleted then others still view the posts years later and no telling how many people are misinformed if the post stays visible and never corrected. Nothing ever gets deleted off the internet unless one of two things happen...
1. Someone actually deletes the material themself.
2. The Website itself is terminated due to the owner shutting it down or never pays the bill for the Web Address.) -
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.Dirtymartini15x, 88 Alpha, rabbiporkchop and 2 others Thank this. -

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. -
