                                                  Released: November 16, 2006

   By the Resident Agent, Portland Resident Agent Office, Western Region,
   Enforcement Bureau:

   1. This is an Official Citation issued pursuant to Section 503(b) of the
   Communications Act of 1934, as amended ("Act"), to Rod Irvin, d/b/a D&R
   Communications, Inc., for violation of Section 302(b) of the Act and
   Section 2.803(a)(1) of the Commission's Rules.

   2. An investigation by the Enforcement Bureau's Portland Resident Agent
   Office revealed that on September 5, 2006, Rod Irvin, d/b/a D&R
   Communications, Inc., offered for sale non-certified Citizens Band ("CB")
   transceivers, namely, Cobra 150 GTL DX and Cobra 200 GTL DX models.
   According to the Commission's records, these devices have not received an
   FCC equipment authorization which is required for Citizens Band
   transmitters marketed in the United States.

   3. Section 302(b) of the Act provides: "No person shall manufacture,
   import, sell, offer for sale, or ship devices or home electronic equipment
   and systems, or use devices, which fail to comply with regulations
   promulgated pursuant to this section." Section 2.803(a)(1) of the Rules
   provides that "...no person shall sell or lease, or offer for sale or
   lease (including advertising for sale or lease), or import, ship or
   distribute for the purpose of selling or leasing or offering for sale or
   lease, any radio frequency device unless: (1) In the case of a device
   subject to certification, such device has been authorized by the
   Commission in accordance with the rules in this chapter and is properly
   identified and labeled..." Rod Irvin, d/b/a D&R Communications, Inc.'s
   offer for sale of these devices violates both sections.

   4. Dual use CB and amateur radios of the kind at issue here may not be
   certificated under the Commission's rules.

   5. Violations of the Communications Act or of the Commission's Rules may
   subject the violator to substantial monetary forfeitures not to exceed
   $11,000 for each such violation or each day of a continuing violation,
   seizure of equipment through in rem forfeiture action, and criminal
   sanctions including imprisonment.
