I also hear that FCC is working on a BAN on the already illegal and so-called "10 Meter" radios in CMV's because of drivers' tendency to operate on frequencies that require license! 8) They are also unhappy about those who operate on the "low side" which happens to be assigned in the US to the military. The most popular "channel" (there ARE no "channels" down there) is apparently 26.735. If folks would've just STAYED on the CB band, we wouldn't be reading about this. :sad:

You bring up this subject every now and then, why?
|
1. To inform drivers who may not have read it before that such operations are against the law.
2. To let them know that so-called "10 Meter" radios are illegal.
3. To make folks aware that the
legal and rightful users of those frequencies are angry at the presence of "poachers", and that they will go out, FIND, and REPORT drivers for doing this
4. And, finally, to bring up the fact that the FCC is, in fact, working on ways to STOP drivers from filching frequencies from other users. One of the things being worked on is that BAN on the "10 Meter" radios.
Up to now, it has been assumed that FCC is "out of business" with regard to CB radio. It is not so. While they may have been indifferent some years ago, they are BACK with more and more frequent "busts" against shops and dealers AND individual CBers. The latest ones (some within days of each other) are:
Gambler's CB Shop, Citation
Hot Shot CB Shop, Citation
Striker CB Shop, Citation
D & R Communications, Citation
G I Joe's CB Shop, $21,000 FINE
A Mr. Duckworth, Duluth, GA, $10,000 FINE!
I only suggest that drivers take time to READ Part 95 of US Code partaining to CB radio and learn what they are to do with their radios and what they are NOT to do! If only people (drivers, too!) would obey the law, we wouldn't even be reading about this stuff. It is not unreasonable for think FCC might come after drivers if the illegal use of unauthorized "channels" doesn't stop.
