Here's a link to information about an FCC ID#. St Lucia Telecommuncations Bureau is asking for this information prior to bringing my transceiver into the country.
"An FCC ID has 2 elements. The first is a three-character Grantee Code which usually begins with an alphabetic character and does not contain 1s or 0s. The FCC permanently assigns this code to a company for authorization of radio frequency equipment." from http://www.tech-faq.com/fcc-id.shtml. My Yaesu handheld has a FCC ID on the case under the battery. I may be mistaken, but isn't this # part of the Type Acceptance process for any transceiver? As I find the answer, I'll post to the board. Thanks, Guy, N7UN/2 > From: Phil Kane > AFAIK there is no such thing as "FCC ID" for a transceiver of > this sort but check with Elecraft to see if they have ever run > into this. An amateur bands-only transceiver capable of operating strictly within Part 97 spectrum is exempt from FCC importation certification/authorization. See 47 CFR 2.1204(a)(2). This rule is further exemplified under ET Docket No. 03-108; FCC 07-66. "Cognitive Radio Technologies and Software Defined Radios."
