CB Code of practice

Remember to always "Watch the LIPS":

BE LEGAL - Read your licence carefully and always comply with its terms and conditions.
DON 'T CAUSE INTERFERENCE - Remember that other radio services may be affected by your transmissions.
BE PATIENT - Show patience and consideration towards other users.
BE SAFE - Don't risk your life or anyone else's.

The law

CB Radio is licensed under the Wireless Telegraphy Act 1949. It is the responsibility of the licensed user to ensure that all use of his or her station(s) conforms in every detail with the restrictions contained in the CB Licence Conditions. The few rules governing CB are designed to minimise interference to other radio users.

Please read your Licence carefully

In particular, users should make sure that they use only approved CB equipment. This includes antennas, accessories and ancillary equipment. It is an offence to use non-approved equipment, including otherwise legal radios that have been modified to increase power output or the number of channels in use.

Licence-holders must ensure that other people using CB under the cover of their licence obey the law at all times. You are responsible for all use under your licence.

Remember that to use grossly offensive, indecent, obscene or threatening language may be a criminal offence.

Interference

Although the legal CB service has been designed specifically to minimise interference to other radio services, all radio transmissions can cause problems to other users. There are several things you can do to minimise this:

Only use legal CB equipment.
Don't tamper with your rig. Modifications to change the power output or the number of channels can cause interference.
Use the low power switch where possible.
Don't transmit close to radio masts, airfields or the emergency services; their radio could be saving a life.
Don't site your antenna near to TV reception aerials.
Using a low-pass filter between your rig and antenna may help to reduce interference.

Using CB radio

Be considerate to other users.
Respect operating conventions - leave Channel 09 clear for emergencies, Channel 14 for calling and Channel 19 for mobile use. Also respect any local conventions regarding the use of a channel for a specific purpose.
Always give priority to emergency calls on any channel. Remember the next emergency call may concern you, your family or friends.
If you hear a call for help and if no one else is providing assistance, give any help you can.
Remember that CB is not a substitute for the 999 (or marine VHF channel 16) service. There is no official organisation monitoring CB, and there may not always be a local volunteer monitor listening.
Before you transmit, listen with the "Squelch" control turned fully down (i.e. background noise at a maximum) - don't barge in on existing conversations.
Keep conversations short - don't hog channels, everyone has an equal right to use them.
Be patient towards newcomers, everyone has to learn. Help them with interference and other problems if you can.
Be sympathetic to neighbours suffering interference to their radio or television reception. If they are having problems obtain a copy of the leaflet "Interference to TV and Radio Reception", available free of charge on request from Ofcom.
Remember CB can be an aid to business as well as an entertaining and useful hobby. Help others to enjoy it as much as you do.

Safety

Never erect or remove an antenna near to or under electricity transmission lines. CB users have been killed doing so. If in doubt ask your local Electricity Board for advice.
Take care at railway level crossings and other areas when driving a vehicle fitted with a CB antenna. High antennas can touch low wires causing electrocution so don't fit 1/2 and 5/8 wavelength (antennas for 26 - 27 MHz equipment (sub-clause 4(1)) to vehicles or use any type of long antenna for mobile operation.
Use common sense when transmitting. Don't let your use of CB interfere with your ability to drive. Don't transmit when there is risk of an explosion, such as when you are at a petrol station.
Don't transmit with the antenna less than 15cm (6 inches) from your face. Remember that concentrated radio energy can be dangerous.

“ERP” means effective radiated power, which is the product of the power supplied to the antenna and its gain relative to a half-wave dipole in a given direction. The power supplied to the antenna is expressed in the form of peak envelope power. The peak envelope power is defined as the average power supplied to the antenna transmission line by a transmitter during one radio frequency cycle at the crest of the modulation envelope taken under normal operating conditions;
the “antenna gain” is the ratio, usually expressed in decibels, of the power required at the input of a loss-free reference antenna top the power supplied to the input of the given antenna to produce, in a given direction, the same field strength or the same power flux density at the same distance. The antenna gain is expressed in decibels relative to a half-wave dipole (dBd) and refers to the direction of maximum radiation;
words and expressions in this licence have the same meaning as they have in the Wireless Telegraphy Act 1949;
"Radio Regulations" means the 2001 edition of the Radio Regulations made under Article 13 of the Constitution of the International Telecommunications Union as may be amended or substituted from time to time.
