Ralph, as a matter of fact, you CAN build your own radios...

I'm saddened that anyone in this industry would not want the ability to mix
and match CERTIFIED components. It's done all of the time already. Both in
our industry, the PC industry, industrial controls etc. etc. etc. etc.
Oh yeah, let us no forget about the hams. They don't even have to use
certified components! They can build the whole thing from the ground up.
Seems to me that radio and TV stations can also built transmit sights as
they see fit. THEY are the responsible parties.
But that's all ok. If we get our way you'll still be able to buy that
certified system! No problem with that.
laters,
marlon

Yep, and addition to being fully FCC Part 15 certified, I plugged it in with
a UL approved Power cord too :-P
I don't need to justify legality to allow someone to rationalize illegality.
Sorry
As well known as you are to Mikrotik Butch (even I was about to hire you for
some MT Router work), why don't you encourage MT to make some certified
designs?
WISPA's wish for a do it yourself palette of devices to cobble together and
be certified is a pipe dream. The FCC doesn't work like that.
If they did, then Kenwood, Icom, Motorola, and the others would already have
do-it-yourself commercial radio kits. And you'd be able to go to Radio Shack
and buy a kit to build a microwave oven project.
How can we WISPS as an industry just blatantly defy the rules. Because they
are silly doesn't void them, nor does it give us the authorization to ignore
them. Does someone need to get fined and made an example of?

I suppose you are using a complete certified system with the Orinoco
AP? (radio, pigtail, enclosure, cables, antenna) Just for all our
comfort, can you provide the FCC IDs on the gear you are using?
