Not to beat a dead horse... I don't think this is an issue of trust, our license dictates we know where we are transmitting and stay within our license boundaries. That said, I find it disconcerting that the FCC requires all the restrictions on manufacturers. I believe it was illegal use or sale of manufactured amateur gear to unlicensed operators that created this mess. Scratch builders generally know what they are doing and thus their equipment is exempt as long as they hold the license and operate in the bands they are licensed for.
I for one would rather we move on to the next technical topic.

The gist of these mails was, that as licenced hams we have been through the training and exams and should be able to stay within our licence conditions, and we should (and generally can) be trusted with equipment that is capable of operating outside the ham bands. ..... 73, Thomas 2E0ETT ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
