  "text": "(This note is not part of the Regulations)\nThese Regulations amend the Wireless Telegraphy (Control of Interference from Citizens' Band Radio Apparatus) Regulations 1982 (“the principal Regulations”) (S.I. 1982/635). The principal Regulations, as amended, prescribe the technical requirements to be observed by persons who manufacture, assemble or import Citizens' Band (“CB”) radio apparatus which is designed or adapted to operate in the frequency band 934 MHz to 935 MHz (previously 934.025 MHz to 934.975 MHz). The technical requirements are based on those contained in Performance Specification MPT 1321.\nThe Regulations delete the requirements applicable to CB apparatus which operates in the frequency band 27.60125 MHz to 27.99125 MHz. CB apparatus which operates in the frequency band 26.1 MHz to 28 MHz is now subject to the Wireless Telegraphy (Citizens' Band and Amateur Apparatus) (Various Provisions) Order 1988.\nA person who fails to comply with the Regulations may be served with a notice under section 12 of the Wireless Telegraphy Act 1949 and any person who contravenes such a notice is guilty of an offence under the Act and may be liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding level 3 on the standard scale.\nCopies of Performance Specification MPT 1321 are available free of charge from the Librarian, Radiocommunications Division, Department of Trade and Industry, Waterloo Bridge House, Waterloo Road, LONDON SE1 8UA.",
