And so they should. FCC rules are not jokes. They have real fines. Just because folks have "always done it this way" and see "everyone else doing it" doesn't exonerate them from wrongdoing.
Using uncertified systems is just plain illegal. Period. There are people in WISPA who have pictures of installations on their web sites clearly showing amplifiers and homemade "systems". Some of the rest of you continue to make postings and saying that you are violating the regs. Now we have this discussion about Trango. Because Trango has some MT components in a certified system (which they may or not do- I don't follow Trango), now all of a sudden we are trying to imagine that these components must now be legal for *everyone* to use in whatever configuration they want, as well. What part of this do you guys not "get"? Most of you guys pay your taxes don't you? You buy license plates for your vehicles don't you? If you have towers that require lighting, you light them, don't you? Would your excuses work to protect you if you don't do that? Those of us who obey the rules aren't paranoid about it at all. Its only those who don't and are now realizing that they can lose their businesses over this. As I have said many times: Folks- tell/show your vendors that you are not going to use illegal systems. Look at Deliberant at an example of someone "building from modules" and getting certified. Those guys have it together! Does there have to be an example case where someone gets fined to make you guys see this?
