Sec.  95.181   Permissible communications.

   (a) A station operator for an individual who is licensed in the GMRS (other
   than an employee of that individual) may communicate two-way voice messages
   concerning the licensee's personal or business activities (see  Sec. 95.179).

   (b) [Reserved]

   (c) A station operator for any entity other than an individual licensed in
   the GMRS may communicate two-way voice messages concerning the licensee's
   business activities (see  Sec. 95.179). An employee for an entity other than an
   individual licensed in the GMRS may, as a station operator, communicate
   two-way voice messages while acting within the scope of his/her employment.

   (d) A station operator for any GMRS licensee may communicate two-way voice
   messages concerning:

   (1) Emergencies (see  Sec. 95.143);

   (2) Rendering assistance to a motorist; and

   (3) Civil defense drills, if the responsible agency requests assistance.

   (e)  All  messages  must be in plain language (without codes or hidden
   meanings). They may be in a foreign language, except for call signs (see
    Sec. 95.119).

   (f)  A  station operator may communicate tone messages for purposes of
   identification or transmitter control in a control link.

   (g) A station operator may communicate a selective calling tone or tone
   operated squelch only in conjunction with a voice communication. If the tone
   is subaudible (300 Hertz or less) it may be communicated during the entire
   voice  message. If the tone is audible (more than 300 Hertz) it may be
   communicated for no more than 15 seconds at a time.

   (h) A station operator may communicate a one-way voice page to a paging
   receiver. A selective calling tone or tone operated squelch may be used in
   conjunction  with a voice page, as prescribed in paragraph (g) of this
   section. A station operator may not communicate a tone-only page (tones
   communicated in order to find, summon or notify someone).
