(1) The notification to the Interference
Office, Arecibo Observatory shall be made
45 days prior to commencing operation
of the unit. The notification shall state
the geographical coordinates of the unit.
(2) After receipt of such notifications,
the Commission will allow the Arecibo
Observatory a period of 20 days for
comments or objections. The operator
will be required to make reasonable
efforts in order to resolve or mitigate any
potential interference problem with the
Arecibo Observatory. If the Commission
determines that an operator has satisfied
its responsibility to make reasonable
efforts to protect the Observatory from
interference, the unit may be allowed
to operate.
§95.193 (FRS Rule 3)
Types of communications.
(a) You may use an FRS unit to conduct
two-way voice communications with
another person. You may use the FRS unit
to transmit one-way communications only
to establish communications with another
person, send an emergency message,
provide traveler assistance, make a voice
page, or to conduct a brief test.
(b) The FRS unit may transmit tones to
make contact or to continue
communications with a particular FRS unit.
If the tone is audible (more than 300
Hertz), it must last no longer than 15
seconds at one time. If the tone is
subaudible (300 Hertz or less), it may be
transmitted continuously only while you are
talking.
(c) You must not use an FRS unit in
connection with any activity which is
against federal, state or local law.
(d) You must, at all times and on all
channels, give priority to emergency
communication messages concerning the
immediate safety of life or the immediate
protection of property.
(e) No FRS unit may be interconnected to
the public switched network.
§95.194 (FRS Rule 4)
FRS units.
(a) You may only use an FCC certified FRS
unit. (You can identify an FCC certified FRS
unit by the label placed on it by the
manufacturer.)
(b) You must not make, or have made, any
internal modification to an FRS unit. Any
internal modification cancels the FCC
certification and voids your authority to
operate the unit in the FRS.
(c) You may not attach any antenna, power
amplifier, or other apparatus to an FRS unit
that has not been FCC certified as part of
that FRS unit. There are no exceptions to
this rule and attaching any such apparatus
to a FRS unit cancels the FCC certification
and voids everyone's authority to operate
the unit in the FRS.
