approx. 10% of the On-time, as usual for CB radios. This device is not intended for
continuous transmission without regular receiving periods to cool down. Avoid high

permitted for licensed amateur radio operators and can have legal consequences for
unauthorized persons.

transceivers in car installations. Because of EMC reasons, the car manufacturers
have the right to issue installation rules and instructions for installing transmitters and
their antennas in cars. These rules and instructions are valid for amateur radio
