particular model under development are considered to be separate devices.
(4) The radio frequency device is being imported in limited quantities for
demonstration at industry trade shows and the device will not be offered for

(i) 200 or fewer units, provided the product is designed solely for
operation within one of the Commission's authorized radio services for which
an operating license is required to be issued by the Commission; or
(ii) 10 or fewer units for all other products.
(iii) Prior to importation of a greater number of units than shown above,
