§ 95.733   Prohibited RCRS use.

   The rules in this section restrict certain uses of RCRS transmitters.

   (a) Simultaneous use of multiple channels. An RCRS station must not
   transmit simultaneously on more than one RCRS channel in the 72-76 MHz
   band when such operation would cause harmful interference to other RCRS
   operations.

   (b) Data transmission. No person shall use a RCRS transmitter to
   transmit data. Tones or other types of signal encoding are not
   considered to be data for the purposes of this paragraph, when used
   only for the purpose of identifying the specific device among multiple
   devices that the operator intends to turn on/off or the specific sensor
   among multiple sensors intended to turn on/off an indicating device for
   the operator.

   (c) Pay for operation prohibited. RCRS stations must not be used for
   commercial purposes. An RCRS operator must not accept direct or
   indirect payment for operating an RCRS transmitter. An RCRS operator
   may use an RCRS transmitter to help him or her provide a service and be
   paid for rendering that service, provided that the payment is only for
   the service and not for operation of the RCRS transmitter.

   (d) Limited transmission. No person shall use an RCRS station to
   transmit any message other than for the operation of devices at remote
   locations. Accordingly, the transmission of other messages by an RCRS
   operator, such as voice, telegraphy, etc. is prohibited.
