I don't know for certain, but I thought I read somewhere that digital operation on CB was prohibited in the US (though legal in most of the EU).

There was also some weird thing I vaguely remember about 11m not exactly being unlicensed. The license to operate rests with the equipment manufacturer, not with the operator, or something similarly wonky.

(Not agreeing with it, just conveying what I thought I read somewhere. Could be wildly mistaken -- like how we were told it was illegal to drive a car with the dome light on.)
