(A) CB station operators shall transmit two-way plain language communications without codes or coded messages. Operating signals such as "ten codes" are not considered codes or coded messages.
(B) A CB station operator may transmit two-way plain language communications only to other CB stations, to units of the operator's CB station or to authorized government stations on CB frequencies about:
1. Personal or business activities of the operator or the members of the operator's immediate family living in the operator's household;
2. Emergencies;
3. Traveler assistance; or
4. Civil defense activities in connection with official tests or drills conducted by, or actual emergencies announced by, the civil defense agency with authority over the area in which the CB station is located.
(C) Operators may use the CB station to transmit a tone signal only when the signal is used to make contact or to continue communications. (Examples of circuits using these signals are tone operated squelch and selective calling circuits.) If the signal is an audible tone, it must last no longer than fifteen (15) seconds at one time. If the signal is a subaudible tone, it may be transmitted continuously only as long as the operator is talking.
(D) Operators may use the CB station to transmit one-way communications (messages which are not intended to establish communications between 2 or more particular CB stations) only for emergency communications, traveler assistance, brief tests (radio checks) or voice paging. (Ord. 1837, 5-3-2005)
