(CB Rule 24) How do I have my CB station transmitter serviced?
(a) You may adjust an antenna to your CB transmitter and you may make
radio checks. (A radio check means a one way transmission for a short
time in order to test the transmitter.)
(b) You are responsible for the proper operation of the station at all
times and are expected to provide for observations, servicing and
maintenance as often as may be necessary to ensure proper operation.
You must have all internal repairs or internal adjustments to your CB
transmitter made in accordance with the Technical Regulations (see
subpart E). The internal repairs or internal adjustments should be
performed by or under the immediate supervision and responsibility of a
person certified as technically qualified to perform transmitter
maintenance and repair duties in the private land mobile services and
fixed services by an organization or committee representative of users
in those services.
(c) Except as provided in paragraph (d) of this section, each internal
repair and each internal adjustment of a CB transmitter in which
signals are transmitted must be made using a nonradiating ("dummy")
antenna.
(d) Brief test signals (signals not longer than one minute during any
five minute period) using a radiating antenna may be transmitted in
order to:
(1) Adjust an antenna to a transmitter;
(2) Detect or measure radiation of energy other than the intended
signal; or
(3) Tune a receiver to your CB transmitter.
