PART 95--PERSONAL RADIO SERVICES--Table of Contents

               Subpart D--Citizens Band (CB) Radio Service

Sec. 95.411  (CB Rule 11) May I use power amplifiers?

    (a) You may not attach the following items (power amplifiers) to
your certificated CB transmitter in any way:
    (1) External radio frequency (RF) power amplifiers (sometimes called
linears or linear amplifiers); or
    (2) Any other devices which, when used with a radio transmitter as a
signal source, are capable of amplifying the signal.
    (b) There are no exceptions to this rule and use of a power
amplifier voids your authority to operate the station.
    (c) The FCC will presume you have used a linear or other external RF
power amplifier if--
    (1) It is in your possession or on your premises; and
    (2) There is other evidence that you have operated your CB station
with more power than allowed by CB Rule 10, Sec. 95.410.
    (d) Paragraph (c) of this section does not apply if you hold a
license in another radio service which allows you to operate an external
RF power amplifier.
