  • capable of transmitting on the 12 m and 10 m amateur service bands to amateur radio operators. We believe that these rules impose unnecessary restrictions on manufacturers of amateur radio equipment, are inconsistent with the experimental nature of the amateur service, and may result in amateur stations transmitting at higher power levels than necessary. Accordingly, we propose to amend Sections 97.315 and 97.317 of our Rules to clarify and simplify the exceptions in our Rules. Specifically, to eliminate the disparate restrictions imposed on manufacturers as compared to the restrictions imposed on amateur service licensees, to allow manufacturers to market equipment in the United States that they may market overseas, and to eliminate any ambiguity in these rules, we will propose to

  • 03-223 (rel. Sep. 17, 2003). Amateur radio equipment is exempt from a certification requirement, except for external power amplifiers operating below 144 MHz. Such amplifiers must have no gain in the 26-28 MHz band to ensure that they can not be used to amplify the output of transmitters operating in the Citizen's Band (CB) Radio Service. See 47 C.F.R. §§ 97.315 and 97.317. See 47 C.F.R. § 97.1. The common personal computer sound card uses a low speed DAC, typically about 40,000 samples/second, to produce audio output. See 47 C.F.R. § 2.932(e). Id. Id. See Report and Order in ET Docket No. 00-47, 16 FCC Rcd 17373, 13383 (2001). See Vanu Inc. Comment, August 1, 2003. Vanu proposes the following language

  • Limitations Imposed on Manufacturers. Background. Currently, our rules prohibit commercial manufacturers from marketing RF power amplifiers that are capable of transmitting on the 12 m and 10 m amateur service bands, as a way to prevent use of these amplifiers by Citizens Band (CB) Radio Service users. In the NPRM, the Commission requested comment on whether it should amend Sections 97.315 and 97.317 of our Rules to clarify and simplify those restrictions. Specifically, the Commission requested comment on whether it should eliminate the disparate restrictions imposed on manufacturers (as compared to the restrictions imposed on amateur service licensees), whether it should allow manufacturers to market equipment in the United States that they may market overseas, and whether we should eliminate the

See MSS petition at 9 and MSS reply to opposition at 3. Such amplifiers must comply with limits on the gain over the frequency range of 24 to 35 MHz. See 47 C.F.R. §§ 97.315 and 97.317. See In the Matter of Pilot Travel Centers, L.L.C., Knoxville, Tennessee, Notice of Apparent Liability for Forfeiture, 19 FCC Rcd 23113, 23114 (2004). In this forfeiture proceeding, the Commission issued a Notice of Apparent Liability for violations of Section 302(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, and Section 2.803(a)(1) of the Commission's rules for marketing unapproved
