Just to further confuscate the issue - I once built my own home PC. I bought a box, motherboard, CPU, memory, variety of ISA cards, etc. It worked so well, I built a couple or three more for family and friends, and sold them to those family and friends at a good price. I didn't check radiated emissions. Am I an FCC Outlaw ? Doug Massey LXE, Inc.

List-Post: emc-pstc@listserv.ieee.org Date: Tue, Jun 19, 2001, 5:24 PM Hi Group This is a question regarding a plug in PC card that has been stated as FCC compliant which is inserted in a PC that is also stated to be FCC compliant and the emissions are found to actually exceed the FCC limits. What is the responsibility of the manufacturer who is intending to place this on the market as a functional unit? Are they liable for the overall unit or can they sell on the basis that it comprises FCC compliant sub assemblies, albeit evidently originally tested in different configurations. If they are liable, how can anyone sell any PC/PC card combination considering that the card could have originally been tested in a so called golden PC.
