I think there is some mis-information fueling this discussion
which needs to be clarified.
The specific designated Micor stations would need to have been
de-certified due to technological changes in the GMRS rules which would
prevent it from complying.
The FCC rules to GMRS were not amended in any form, which I am
aware of, which would drop the certification of any station which was
previously certified under those existing rules.To become de-certified a
technical change, which it ( said equipment) cannot comply with, would need
to have occurred, like freq stability, emissions, part 15 radiation etc....
If technical changes ( which stopped Progs etc) from compliance
occur, like tightening emissions standards or such, that is another matter.
This appears to be an clerical oversight in changing of the method
approvals are recorded.
Technical standards changes like these have been occurring in
other services, but even deviation limits and narrowbanding do not
de-certify radio's in part 90 etc...
NTIA is another matter as mandated emissions standard changes
affect MARS and CAP due to narrowbanding and such . The approved lists for
NTIA services are adjusted as they determine the specific model can or
cannot be made compliant with NTIA regulations. (12k5 narrowbanding to be
precise)
As NTIA has absolute control over those "licensees" it oversees (
govt services) it can dictate whatever it chooses.
Tube equipment like Progline, etc were dropped as they were not
compliant with emissions standards as we went to 25k channel standards.
Nothing more...
Let us consider relevant portions of this discussion instead of
red herrings....
