I see no reason why (contrary to Mark's uninformed rant) a group of you can't get together and arrange to certify your own assembled system and the various combinations. Just know that in doing so you simply assume certain responsibilities and liabilities. But once that's done, you could then market it to other WISPs as a certified system. If you did that, think about the irony since you'd be using the fact that is would be FCC-certified as your products advantage over other similar, but illegal combinations.

Then why are people saying we cannot certify a CM9 and a RouterOS drivers and a couple of antennas (Rootenna, PW dish, etc) and then slap them into any SBC?
