15.23 Home-built devices.
(a) Equipment authorization is not required for devices
that are not marketed, are not constructed from a kit, and
are built in quantities of five or less for personal use.
(b) It is recognized that the individual builder of
home-built equipment may not possess the means to perform
the measurements for determining compliance with the
regulations. In this case,the builder is expected to employ
good engineering practices to meet the specified technical
standards to the greatest extent practicable. The provisions
of 15.5 apply to this equipment.
Of course 15.5 refers to "Thou shall not interfere and thou shall
accept all interference".
It seems to me that this section refers to equipment that is not
already certified since any equipment that is "marketed" needs to
be certified. Even "kits" need to be certified (15.25). When I
have talked to others "knowledgeable" in equipment certification,
they seem to have the same interpretation. It sounds as if using
an AP that is certified would not be allowed to be mixed and matched
outside of its certification.
If applied to what we are doing, it would seem that we would have
to develop our own SS radios and antennas to take advantage of
15.23.
