       A recent	submission pertaining  to  trouble  in	a  cordless
       telephone suggests:

	     "..... BUT** don't	fret! a	tune up	on  your  phone	 by
	    the	factory	or someone who knows what the're doing will
	    cure your problem."

       Cordless	telephones, CB radios, and  marine  radios  contain
       radio  transmitters.   Their design must	be type	accepted by
       the Federal Communications Commission (FCC).

       According to the	FCC, service on	these  units,  as  well	 as
       other  transmitting  equipment  (other than ham radio equip-
       ment), MUST be performed	by, or under the direct	supervision
       of  the holder of an FCC	Radiotelephone License 2nd Class or
       higher.

       Holders of these	licenses are required to pass FCC tests	 in
       communications, electronics, and	radio regulations.
