I can think of two really good reasons: MONEY - Part 15 isn't cheap (figure around $10K) MODIFIABILITY - Part 15 is tough if the device has a user modifiable software component. >I took a look at the Kenwood TS-480 manual and noted that it is >certified for Part 15 (page 2) and it has 10 band edge scan memories >(page 64). However, it IS an HF radio that scans and is a fairly new product. >http://www.kenwood.net/indexKenwood.cfm?do=ProductDetails&ProdID=5025&Group=5 And you can go to the FCC website and see the many, many pages of documentation required to get that Part 15 equipment authorization. https://gullfoss2.fcc.gov/prod/oet/cf/eas/reports/GenericSearch.cfm is the general search page you can enter the equipment authorization code off your radio and look at the paperwork.
