I'm just trying to say that most of these boards have never been certified to even use as a computing device in the US. They could be putting out spurs and harmonics all over the aircraft band or anywhere else.
I had an SBC once whose crystal oscillator was putting out a strong signal right on 146.055 MHZ, the input of a local Ham repeater. It shut them completely down until I could get there and shut the computer off. Manufacturer had me pad the crystal with a capacitor. Moved the spur off to who knows where else. Hopefully not to the aircraft distress frequency or something like that. This board was not FCC certified either. I have a Routerboard 153 sitting here on my desk. Nowhere on it is an FCC compliance note about its compliance as an unintentional radiator. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mark Koskenmaki Sent: Wednesday, April 25, 2007 10:26 PM To: WISPA General List Subject: Re: [WISPA] Modifications of Parts 2 and 15 of the,Commission's Rules for unlicensed devices and, equipment approval ----- Original Message ----- From: "ralph" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "'WISPA General List'" <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, April 25, 2007 6:42 PM Subject: RE: [WISPA] Modifications of Parts 2 and 15 of the,Commission's Rules for unlicensed devices and,equipment approval > Laptop=Legal FCC Certified Computing Device > SBC=not > WRAP=not > RB=not > I'm not sure what you're trying to say here... I know that lots of SBC's have been certified within systems, and gettting them certified outside of systems, as unintentional radiators should be... well.. almost trivial. I don't think a WRAP board has been, but then, the WRAP is now obsolete. The various RB / Compex / Gateworks, etc SBC's are nothing but PARTS of already certified systems. The CPU's and other parts are common parts. They'd probably qualify under plain old "declaration of compliance" rules. -- WISPA Wireless List: [email protected] Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://lists.wispa.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless Archives: http://lists.wispa.org/pipermail/wireless/ -- WISPA Wireless List: [email protected] Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://lists.wispa.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless Archives: http://lists.wispa.org/pipermail/wireless/
