US hams seems to have an interesting relationship with CB, dating back to
the time when FCC took the 27MHz band out of the 10 meters ham band to
create CB. Often when I read posts by US ham ops about CB I sense a lot of
controversy. In Europe the attitude among the ham community and authorities
to CB is more relaxed. As a matter of fact, SM authorities have taken away
the license obligation recently and re-introduced AM and SSB modes in an
effort to stimulate the usage of the band. 

In my opinion it is really simple, if the radio has the capability and the
user is allowed ownership why should the manufacturer restrict the
capability? It doesn't make sense! In the free world, it is the user's
responsibility to comply with his or hers license. 

Just my 2 (euro) cents, Merry Xmas!
