...and just who checks your "legal status" in operating?


Me and Mr. Bird Type 43



Now and for some years there has been a legal no-no on
even being able to PURCHASE a linear amplifier in a certain
frequency range...which could be used for a CB radio...or a
10m amateur radio. Can you connect the dots and see a trend
for the future there?


A single dot does not constitute a trend.

And the "legal no-no" (§97.315, §97.317) does not apply to homebrewed
amplifiers, which the item in question appears to be. Amateur-to-amateur
sales are also exempt.

Sunuvagun!

Didn't the FCC change that in the last year or two? Since it didn't
successfully keep the amplifiers off the CB band anyway, I believe they
dropped that restriction.

Since I have to head off to work shortly, I don't have time to look it up
now but I do remember reading something on that.
