wrote: The Phrase in question is "Type Accepted", and ALL Transmitters licensed under Part 90, 80, 20, and a few others, MUST be Type Accepted by the FCC, to be marketed, Imported, and sold, in the US. Any person may modify any piece of equipment they choose, HOWEVER, said modification MAY void the Type Acceptance for that piece of equipment, and therefor make it a violation of the Licensing Conditions as specified on the Station License granted by the FCC. Hey, Bruce, things have changed since the days when we looked for the FCC Form 452-C on each transmitter (a tag stating the name of the licensee and the call sign of the station that it was licensed under). Quite a while back, the FCC changed the level for Land Mobile (and other services') transmitters from "Type Acceptance" to "Certification" meaning that the manufacturers need not send the test data to the FCC and wait for the Type Acceptance to be issued but can self-test and certify that it meets specs, with test data made available if there is a question. This was because the industry complained that it was taking too long to process Type Acceptance applications, and the Commish' took the easy way out and changed the level rather than to do what should have been done, namely hire more examiners to make the process more timely. Oh, the requirement for the 452-C is gone as well. More "privatization".... -- 73 de K2ASP - Phil Kane From a Clearing in the Silicon Forest Beaverton (Washington County) Oregon e-mail: k2asp [at] arrl [dot] net |

In article om,
"Type Accepted" (or "Type Acceptance") is an outdated term, replaced in FCC regs with the term "Certificated". While the term may have been purged from the R&R, I have seen it in the current question pool for commercial licenses. Element 1 has a question (#12) that reads: Q: "What is a requirement of all marine transmitting apparatus used aboard United States vessels?" A: "Only equipment that has been type accepted by the FCC for Part 80 operations is authorized." |

Some of these are not online study guides, but instead old fashioned paper books: http://www.arrl.org/catalog/lm/ http://www.hamtestonline.com/ https://secure.qrz.com/store/w5yi/index.html http://www.hamradio-online.com/firstlicense.html Free practice exams available at: http://www.eham.net/exams/ http://www.qrz.com/testing.html You can download the question pools at http://www.arrl.org/arrlvec/pools.html |

Type Acceptance is still required for Marine equipment, as is a General Radiotelephone Operator License to repair and adjust same. We were discussing Land Mobile equipment, where the level of equipment certification was reduced from Type Accepted to Certificated several years ago, as was deletion of the requirement for a commercial license to repair or adjust same -- 73 de K2ASP - Phil Kane From a Clearing in the Silicon Forest Beaverton (Washington County) Oregon e-mail: k2asp [at] arrl [dot] net |
