Maybe this will clear things up (or muddy the waters....) I am looking at the bottom of my EEEPC which has a FCC ID: PPD-AR5BXB63 (Atheros 802.11B/G) which refers to: https://fjallfoss.fcc.gov/oetcf/eas/reports/ViewExhibitReport.cfm?mode=E xhibits&RequestTimeout=500&calledFromFrame=N&application_id=141428&fcc_i d=%27PPD-AR5BXB63%27
In the Test Report neither EEEPC or ASUS are mentioned. The test was performed on a external jig on an HP laptop with a 3dB dipole. Next I looked up a Ubiquty SR71 card: https://fjallfoss.fcc.gov/oetcf/eas/reports/ViewExhibitReport.cfm?mode=E xhibits&RequestTimeout=500&calledFromFrame=N&application_id=287610&fcc_i d=%27SWX-SR71%27. Again, the test was done an external jig on a different model HP laptop. The Antenna Info sheet includes a 32Db pac wireless dish, a 5dB 2.4 omni, 17dB 2.4 panel (not sector), and a 21dB 5.8 panel (not sector). Based on this I conclude that I can use any certified radio in my computer (routerboard) as long as I do not use an antenna that is not type certified. I need to put the FCC ID of the radio(s) on the outside of the case so that an inspector does not need to open the unit to obtain it. Thoughts? Comments? __________________________________ Jerry Richardson airCloud Communications -----Original Message----- From: wireless-boun...@wispa.org [mailto:wireless-boun...@wispa.org] On Behalf Of Scott Carullo Sent: Tuesday, May 12, 2009 11:24 AM To: Matt Liotta; wireless@wispa.org Subject: Re: [WISPA] Mikrotik FCC I've been told personally by an FCC testing lab that I can take a XR5 which has been tested with say a 23db panel antenna (with FCC) and use the same gain antenna or less for myself and would not have to have it certified again... They told me not to get it tested because I didn't need to because Ubiquity already part certified it on that type antenna. If this is an argument we will never resolve I can live with that, but I am fairly sure with the resources on this list we can come to a final conclusion based on facts and I think we should.
