    Again I will ask this here, has anyone received a ticket?

    I asked this and arrl responded "we have yet to hear about a licensed amateur receiving a ticket"

    And it is the discretion of a law enforcement officer whether or not to even pursue it.

    The state law hasn't been addressed in the courts and this is just like CARB where the constitutional duty of the Feds interstate commerce is ignored by CARB by telling foreign trucks (other states) have to have specific equipment to enter the state,

    I'm an oversize load escort. I'm required by law in most states to have a cb radio. A few states say 2-way communication device. Most states specifically say cb radio.

    I've never run with anyone that didn't use a CB. The point being, no CB's aren't illegal.

    So I’m guessing PTT headset on a CB will do?
