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 is on the other guys
now.

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.

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.
