That is a very broad band question, depends on the transmitter. There is no requirement to work on FM transmitters, except in certain cases, however you could be held responsible for the emissions of the transmitter. All transmitters are governed by the FCC, under one part or another, but as t

There used to be a FCC law/regulation stating that it was illegal to tamper with a licensed transmitter. For example, a amateur radio operator puts a 146.94 repeater on the air, it is a licensed transmitter. Then someone else comes along and intentially tampers with it to make it stop operating.

Not sure what you mean John. The FCC does not license transmitters however they do license operators of transmitters and they approve transmitters depending upon they application in the U.S. All the rules and regs can be viewed at the FCC's website. Go to the Wireless Telecommunications Bureau and

One technique that I have used occasionally has not been mentioned yet. Assuming the the core has a hex hole in it, you choose an metal hex key (allan wrench) of the right size to fit the core and heat it very hot with a torch. Then place the key in the core and let the heat transfer to the co

I've never encountered a stuck core, but if I did, I'd be tempted to hit a Q-Tip with some WD-40 and then run the Q-Tip down the coil, give it a push and a spin, then give the core a try the next day. But, hey, I use Outlook Express, so what the heck do I know ;-) You don't suppose the core cau
