Grin It's certainly a fuzzy one. A unique connector was defined a few years back. As I recall, It's one that's not commonly available to the average consumer. It's one of the reasons that the old Orinoco cards had those goofy connectors on them. They had to come up with something that

Right. And my point is, they should be easy to get certified. How do we get the various SBC vendors we use to get their boards certified as non-intentional radiators that can hold intentionally radiating modules? ralph wrote: Laptop=Legal FCC Certified Computing Device SBC=not WRAP=not

Marlon, What does The professional installation provision of Section 15.203 say? and how does this change things? I thought the professional installation only meant that the installer had the knowledge and was allowed by the FCC to determine what antenna and xmitter could work together

I saw nothing about an N connector being disallowed. It simply says that the connector(s) must be unique, and my contention is that an N connector is just as unique as a U.FL or RP-SMA. Once something becomes an Industry Standard it sort of loses its uniqueness. Since every system must have an

Under the normal Part-15 rules, the only devices allowed to have a non unique connector are devices labeled for and sold only to professional installers. The problem is, there isn't really a good explanation of what a part-15 professional installer is. What I've been told by the FCC is that

I am still wondering what is meant by unique for the connector. I've seen you write that the N connector is NOT allowed. Why is that? Lonnie On 4/26/07, Marlon K. Schafer (509) 982-2181 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Under the normal Part-15 rules, the only devices allowed to have a non unique

Ralph, you hit the mark. The sbc guys need to get their stuff tested and certified. End of story. If some can't do it and others do, they will soon be without sales. That ought to drive them to conform. I can see the domino effect starting. ADI has done a very good thing for us. The pressure
