The CB Story
1
The Citizens Band lies between the shortwave broadcast and 10-meter Amateur
radio bands, and was established by law in 1949. The Class D two-way communi-
cations service was opened in 1959. (CB also includes a Class A citizens band and
Class C remote control frequencies.)
FCC regulations permit only “transmissions” (one party to another) rather than
“broadcasts” (to a wide audience). Thus, advertising is not allowed on CB Channels
because that is “broadcasting.”
“Cuts Static coming in, adds Punch going out!”
Cobra proudly introduces the first Patent Pending technology that dramatically
improves the transmission and reception of CB radio signals.
This revolutionary system reconfigures the transmission signal wh i ch allows it to be
t ransferred more effectively through cluttered airwaves. It literally “punches” yo u r
message through the hundreds of thousands of signals that are in the air. At the same
time, S o u n d Tra cker system dynamically adjusts the relationship between the signal
and static commonly referred to as noise. This allows Cobra ’s S o u n d Tra ck e r system to
significantly reduce the amount of static on all incoming CB signals. The system can
be further optimized when two SoundTra cker CB’s are used to talk to each other.
The end result is a clearer, cleaner sounding reception of signals and more
powerful transmissions which dramatically improve CB Communications
All transmitter adjustments other than those supplied by the manufacturer as
front panel operating controls, must be made by, or under the supervision of,
the holder of an FCC-issued general Radio-Telephone Opera t o r ’s License.
Replacement or substitution of transistors, regular diodes or other parts of a
unique nature, with parts other than those recommended by Cobra, may
cause violation of the technical regulations of Part 95 of the FCC Rules, or
violation of Type Acceptance requirements of Part 2 of the Rules.
You should read and understand Part 95 (included with this unit) of the FCC
Rules and Regulations, before operating your Cobra radio, even though the
FCC no longer requires you to obtain an operators license.
