It is the tendency these days for radio amateurs of all nations to 
self-regulate.  So let us do just that and use equipment which is legal. 
A CB transceiver can be bought for just a few $, so let's act 
responsibly and keep the hobbies separate without complicating the issue 
any further.  It is fortunate that the CB bands can be disabled in K3 
firmware.
