Thanks Lyle and everyone, The answer seems to be not in part 18 but in the detail of the OET document.
It seems the intention was to exempt "maintenance, research, evaluation, simulation, and other analytical or scientific applications". Whatever that might mean. In some cases the same device (e.g. a scanner) could be for testing something or producing something. It is still something which may be open to argument, and since FCC is a federal regulation, the argument could start when the device is introduced into the US (customs?) Did anyone experience such an argument versus FCC? thanks again, Moshe -------------------------------------------- Name: moshe valdman E-mail: mvald...@netvision.net.il Phone: 972-52-941200 Telefax: 972-3-5496369 List-Post: emc-pstc@listserv.ieee.org Date: 13/1/99 Time: 22:40:49 You are most welcome to visit my homepage at: http://www.geocities.com/CapeCanaveral/5233/ -------------------------------------------- --------- This message is coming from the emc-pstc discussion list.
