OPERATING RULES AND REGULATIONS
Two-way FM radio systems must be operated in accordance with the rules and
regulations of the local, regional, or national government.
In the United States, the radio must be operated in accordance with the rules and
regulations of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). As an operator
of two-way radio equipment, you must be thoroughly familiar with the rules that
apply to your particular type of radio operation. Following these rules helps
eliminate confusion, assures the most efficient use of the existing radio channels,
and results in a smoothly functioning radio network. When using your two-way
radio, remember these rules:
1.
It is a violation of FCC rules to interrupt any distress or emergency
message. As your radio operates in much the same way as a telephone
"party line", always listen to make sure that the channel is clear before
transmitting. Emergency calls have priority over all other messages. If
someone is sending an emergency message - such as reporting a fire or
asking for help in an accident - KEEP OFF THE AIR!
2.
The use of profane or obscene language is prohibited by Federal law.
3. It is against the law to send false call letters or false distress or emergency
messages. The FCC requires that you keep conversations brief and confine
them to business. To save time, use coded messages whenever possible.
