Galaxy radios

THEY ARE NOT CB RADIOS .....

We have been through this before CB radios are definded under FCC rules not what you say .....

 

The FCC calls them CB radios too. Even if they are called illegal CB's. They are still CB's.

 

The FCC rules are as follows ...

CB radio transceivers are subject to the equipment
authorization procedure known as Certification and must be
certified and properly labeled prior to being marketed or sold in
the United States.12 Unlike CB radio transceivers, radio
transmitting equipment that transmits solely on Amateur Radio
Service (``ARS'') frequencies is not subject to equipment
authorization requirements prior to manufacture or marketing.
However, some radio transmitters that transmit in a portion of
the 10-meter band of the ARS (28.000 to 29.700 MHz), just above
the CB band (26.965 to 27.405 MHz), are equipped with rotary,
toggle, or pushbutton switches mounted externally on the unit,
which allow operation in the CB bands after completion of minor
and trivial internal modifications to the equipment. In an
order, the Commission adopted changes to its Rules regarding the
CB type acceptance requirements by defining a ``CB Transmitter''
as ``a transmitter that operates or is intended to operate at a
station authorized in the CB.''13 Section 95.655(a) of the Rules
also states that no transmitter will be certificated for use in
the CB service if it is equipped with a frequency capability not
listed in Section 95.625 of the Rules (CB transmitter channel
frequencies).14 The Office of Engineering and Technology of the
Commission (``OET'') has clarified that ARS transceivers designed
``such that they can easily be modified by the users to extend
the operating frequency range into the frequency bands'' of the
CB are CB transmitters, because they are intended to operate on
the CB bands.15

 

I like the galaxay 44, they be setup to talk the talk. I have a 44 and an older cobra 29 that I had the finals replaced and had it cranked up and the talk back installed. I run the 29 and keep the 44 for a spare, I like both radio's.

 

Well there is real life, and then there is the FCC, and no, I did not read this because no matter what you say, right or wrong, everybody calls them CBs anyway.......and will continue to do so......sorry.

 

+1...careful, we'll both be in trouble with the resident authorities!

 

MIKE What you say is meaningless the only rules that matter is FCC rules.
We have been here before CB radios are well defined and if someone is stupid enough to think otherwise have at it ....

 

who pays attention to the FCC rules about 11 meter? ANYONE who has had a radio opened for anything other than a repair to put it back to factory legal FCC specifications has violated the so called sacred FCC rules.

all that add on crap........echo.............recording toys, roger beeps, channels, modulation kits, peaking and tuning are all illegal. but like i said............who pays attention to the rule? very few people.

 

Not my point .....

OBAYING RULES is one thing making them up is another .......


Just because you can put a radio on CB and 99% of HAM radios can go there DOES NOT make that radio a CB radio no more than any other radio that is out side of it's certification and the FCC makes thoes rules .....

NOT ME .....

 

You can all them what you want. Bottom line, they're export radios and illegal in the US in the eys of the FCC. It doesn't matter if you only use them for the "CB band" or not. In addition, if you are a "ham" and have your ticket, you risk losing it if you're caught in posession of these "Export" radios.
