Sec. 95.131  Servicing station transmitters.

    (a) The GMRS system licensee shall be responsible for the proper 
operation of all stations in the GMRS system at all times and is 
expected to provide for observations, servicing and maintenance as often 
as may be necessary to ensure proper operation.
    (b) Except as provided in paragraph (c) of this section, test 
signals during internal adjustments to a station transmitter must be 
made using a non-radiating simulated antenna.
    (c) Brief test signals using a radiating antenna may be transmitted 
to adjust the antenna to the station transmitter or to detect or measure 
spurious radiation. These test transmissions must not be longer than one 
minute during any five-minute period. These test transmissions shall not 
interfere with communications already in progress on the operating 
frequency, and shall be properly identified as required, but may be 
otherwise unmodulated as appropriate.
