The matter of antenna certification rules was something that was clarified by the FCC OET (Office of Engineering & Technology) & FCC Enforcement Bureau at WiNOG last February in Chicago...(certification aside, the policies of the Enforcement Bureau is what really matters to most, IMO =)
Copies of the original FCC presentations can be found online: http://www.wispnog.com/chicago_2005/sessions.htm A summary of the FCC discussion can be found on page 5 of our March 2005 newsletter (a thanks to Butch E and Forrest C for their nice write-ups last year) http://www.wispnog.com/chicago_2005/sessions.htm -Charles ------------------------------------------- WiNOG Austin, TX March 13-15, 2006 http://www.winog.com -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Kurt Fankhauser Sent: Friday, January 27, 2006 7:57 PM To: 'WISPA General List' Subject: RE: [WISPA] Foreign Antennas Antenna has to be certified as long as the radio, and then together they both have to be certified. You could have a certified radio and antenna but if they aren't certified to be used together then its illegal. Kurt Fankhauser WAVELINC 114 S.

They are not FCC certified, however. Do the antennas need to be fcc certified or just the radios? This is assuming that all the gain/ERP rules are met.
