AMEN to you, Marlon! The people (and there are some "big" names right on this list who are doing it) who are building their own stuff out of OEM boards are not operating under Part 15 properly and risk fines. The FCC can inspect ANY radio station, licensed or not, so all it takes is for them to get wind of the operation and have the proper kick in the pants to do the inspection. Bigger cities with field offices stand a bit better chance, of course.
That said, I evaluated a Deliberant outdoor AP that was built very nicely. It contains an OEM board, but sports an FCC registration sticker right on the outside next to the N connector. As long as it is used with the proper antenna system, you are 100% legal- so why risk building stuff up out of whatever you can find.

Schafer Sent: Wednesday, February 07, 2007 10:44 PM To: WISPA General List Subject: Re: [WISPA] Understanding STAROS with High Power cards. The company kinda has to do the certs as I understand it. There is data needed that we won't generally have. AND, it's fairly expensive. If WE certify their gear, will WE get paid for the certification? We, as wisps, just need to do a better job of demanding that people buy certified systems. Part of the reason that I don't use MT ap's is the certification issue. I *may* or may not use them if certified, but until they are certified I'll not likely even try. When most people have that attitude we'll see a lot of our favorite toys certified. laters, marlon ----- Original Message ----- From: "Marty Dougherty" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "'WISPA General List'" <wireless@wispa.org> Sent: Wednesday, February 07, 2007 12:45 PM Subject: RE: [WISPA] Understanding STAROS with High Power cards. >I don't seem much discussions about integrators or wisps going to the > FCC to get these parts certified into a system.
