How does the new law apply to amateur radio devices? For example,
trained storm spotters sometimes use hand-held and vehicle mobile
radios during a weather emergency.
Devices such as amateur radio, two-way radio and citizens band
(CB) radio are exempt under the new hands-free law. The law does
not define their transmissions as electronic messages, but users
are still required to operate them with due care in a safe manner.
