Eric: The term "kit" has indeed been omitted from the rule. I had to take another look at the rule and track the changes of the CFR. Before mid-2006, Section 2.815(b) had read:
"(b) After April 27, 1978, no person shall manufacture, sell or lease, offer for sale or lease (including advertising for sale or lease), or import, ship, or distribute for the purpose of selling or leasing or offering for sale or lease, any external radio frequency power amplifier or amplifier *kit* capable of operation on any frequency or frequencies between 24 and 35 MHz." Then, in 2006, in addition to other changes affecting the rule, the word "kit" was omitted and as of today, Section 2.815(b) reads:"(b) No person shall manufacture, sell or lease, offer for sale or lease including advertising for sale or lease) or import, ship or distribute for the purpose of selling or leasing or offering for sale or lease, any external radio frequency power amplifier capable of operation on any frequency or frequencies below 144 MHz unless the amplifier has received a grant of certification in accordance with subpart J of this part and other relevant parts of this chapter..."That said, want to start offering the KPA500 as a kit? <g>.
