An STA is basically a permit for operation not normally allowed a license
holder. However, RF immunity testing covers so many frequencies, at such
power, that unless the nearest town is over the horizon, and you have
jungle canopy overhead to absorb RF and keep from jamming satellites, I
think it unlikely you could get an STA for full immunity testing outside a
chamber.  And you do NOT want to be the folks who jammed reception during
the crucial play of the Super Bowl!

The FCC does grant experimental licenses for specific frequencies, for
specific purposes. You might do well to look at that.

Dear Folks,

It was recently suggested that an STA be  on file with the FCC so that a
scan test can be done outside a screen room ?

Does anyone have any details on this "STA" process and who to contact to
complete this STA application.

Best Regards,            Paul J Smith
