No, it's a separate *service* not just a different band. In the USA, Hams have never had the privilege of operating radios in other services using their Ham license. For decades I carried a First Class Radiotelephone License (now a General Radio Operator's License) to operate standard broadcast and other transmitters, and I carry a Global Marine Distress Safety System license to operate the radios used at sea in addition to a Global Marine Distress Safety System Maintainer's license to repair those radios. Whatever you think of the CB service in the USA the FCC requirements for the equipment are entirely different from that of the Amateur Radio Service. 73, Ron AC7AC ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
