It's called prioritization, we all do it. Going after ma and pa wisp isn't very high on their list of things to do. With as rare as they bust a rogue vendor or manufacturer, how often do you think they go after someone intentionally using grossly overpowered gear, much less certified radio\antenna combo's.

They're going to go after a rice rocket going 105 mph in a 65 before a Ford F-150 doing 70.

Marlon,

Do you really believe the FCC does not care if WISP's are using uncertified gear? I doubt that you actually believe this.

I prefer certified gear.  Pre built and ready to install.

Having said that Dawn, when's the last time the FCC took a wisp to task for using non certified configurations?

Hell, I've spent TWO YEARS trying to get an operator running over the eirp limits (way over) dealt with and still no headway.

The bad (and in many ways good) think is that they just don't seem to care. They want the consumer taken care of. When you think about it, we whine about all of the things that the big boys get away with, all the while, we get away with things too.

Shrug.

Rick,

There is no way you would be legit if you decided to do this on your own. Considering the conversation that went on a few weeks back mentioned that people used Mikrotik systems because of the feature set and not cost why would you not buy an already certified system. To be safe I would go with a system that is already certified instead of chancing it.

Does that mean we can take a 532 board and a cm9 and use it elsewhere
and consider it certified ?
No. You would have to use the exact same parts to be considered legal from the antenna to the power supply. This would mean you would have to get the manufacturer of all these parts in the trango system. If you took this approach you would be taking on the responsibility to make sure this really a was certified system.

I assume you read the FAQ that Jack Unger setup to answer these questions about certification.
