Albrecht - Leading in new ideas:
Albrecht has consequently applied the new Europe-
an R&TTE directive and it’s possibilities, which has
replaced the former national approval mark systems
by a common European CE marking system. All
Albrecht Multi-Standard CB radios have a country
switch system and can be used in most European
countries in (minimum) one of the 3 or more avai-
lable switch positions. It depends on the member
state’s frequency application, which of the country
switch position(s) you may use in the region where
You are: 40 CH FM (“CEPT”) in almost all countries,
40 FM/40 AM/40 SSB in more and more countries
(the EN 300 433 Standard) and 80/40 (covering
the additional German channels 41 to 80 inside of
Germany except base station use in defined border
regions).
My hobby CB-Radio
Restrictions on sets with up to 80 channels. The
channels numbers 41 to 80 may unfortunately
not be used everywhere: in the border areas of the
neighbouring countries, apart from the Czech Repu-
blic Base stations, you are not allowed to transmit
on these channels, or you need a special licence of
the German authority (Bundes-Netz-Agentur).
Using your radio set in other countries
The latest European standards and the R&TTE
directive have replaced all former national approval
marks and procedures by a common marking with
the well known CE mark + the “alert sign”. All CB
radios in Europe are now marked in the same way.
But because still some national special require-
ments and licencing conditions exists, the manufac-
turers have been obliged to inform users clearly by
statements on the gift box and in the user manual
of any CB radio. Albrecht has now issued a unique
“Radio Passport” which will help you to provide
always all relevant informations with your CB radio.
The latest versions of the “Radio Passport” can be
downloaded at any time from the Albrecht home-
page as a real help in police controls to show that
your radio is legal. Users are responsible to have an
official licence, where necessary (see country list
in the user manuals) and to use only the allowed
channel combinations in multi-standard radios.
Other countries:
While CB radios work already according to techni-
cally harmonised standards throughout whole Euro-
pe, the actual frequency use in different member
states is still not harmonised and there are a lot of
different regulations how to operate a CB radio with
more than only 40 channels in FM. Because many
regulations are revised currently, you should have
a look to our latest issues of the “radio passports”
published on Albrecht’s homepage or contact your
local radio authority office.
CB is free of licence fees in all countries except Italy,
Switzerland and Spain. And in these countries only
inhabitants have to pay these fees.

80 FM channels: D, CZ, SK (only FM)

FM radio versions for Austria on request.
