Since the majority of Germany's neighbouring countries demand that the radio applications of the respective country must
not be disturbed by the operation of 80 channel CB radio devices which can be operated on the channels 41 to 80, the safety
distances between Germany and these countries have to be kept. Within these safety distances, 80-channel radio devices
must not be operated on the channels 41 to 80. If you have any question relating to these safety zones, please contact the
