Hi Charley,
No-where is a big place.
> No where in FCC Part 97 is anythong written than states it is illegal or
> imapprioprate for a manufacturer to provide technical information
> regarding the design, operation or modification to a third party.
97.317 c 3 says:
"Instructions for operation or modification of the amplifier ........in a
manner contrary to FCC rules."
Of course Part 2 and other areas of the rules clearly state that
manufacturers can not ship devices that do not comply with the
terms of type-acceptance when type-acceptance is required.
The FCC will not tolerate, and the people in enforcement have
made it clear they won't tolerate, manufacturers shipping amplifiers
that violate the terms of type-acceptance. Those terms prohibit
operation on ten meters.
I specifically know this because I asked the FCC for an opinion if
Ameritron could ship amplifiers to licensed amateur that included
ten meters. Bill Cross said no. Not under any circumstance.
