Davo is right, but note a few things. An amateur radio with CB frequencies programmed into it is not type approved, neither are things like PRM80's FM900's Taits or the like regardless of programming or power output.
Even if you are a licenced amateur radio operator you cannot use CB frequencies that are programmed into your amateur radio. No, not even on 5 watts.
Contrary to popular belief there IS a restriction on EIRP, in other words your antenna.
"A transmitter employed in a CB station:
(a) must operate with a transmitter power not exceeding 5 watts; and
(b) must not exceed an EIRP of 8.3 watts;"
