The City Council of the City of Maroa finds that improper operation
of citizens band radios constitutes a nuisance because the radios
interfere with the operation of other electronic devices within the
municipality and may interfere with emergency and police communications.
It shall be unlawful to operate a citizens band radio in violation of the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 47, Chapter
1, Subchapter D, Part 95, Subpart D, Citizens Band (CB) Radio Service, which is incorporated herein and made a part of this chapter.
It is unlawful for a CB station transmitter to exceed the following
power output values under any condition:
A. A AM (A3):
four watts (carrier power).
B. SSB: 12
watts (peak envelope power).
It is unlawful to operate any CB transmitter that is not certificated
by the Federal Communications Commission. It is further unlawful to
operate any CB transmitter to which internal modifications have been
made.
It is unlawful to attach a power amplifier or any other device
capable of amplifying a signal to a CB transmitter. External radio
frequency (RF) power amplifiers, linears or linear amplifiers are
prohibited.
[Amended at time of adoption of Code (see Ch. 1, General
Provisions, Art. I)]

of which is higher than 18.3 meters (60 feet) above the ground or
