I think you will find that manufactured ham transmitters and receivers are submitted for FGCC approval. Home built is not per regulations. How often you see a new piece fo equipment advertised not that waiting for FCC approval to be marketed. What regulations are for imported equipment to the US? 73, Ed - KL7UW _______________________________________________ Sent via [email protected]. Opinions expressed are those of the author.
