[comp.sys.atari.st] Survey -- FCC approval outside the USA

ljdickey@watserv1.waterloo.edu (Lee Dickey) (12/08/90)

In article <479@aupair.cs.athabascau.ca> rwa@cs.athabascau.ca
(Ross Alexander) writes and interesting and informative article
about Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) and his early Atari 1040 ST.

He says, in part,

>I can add a few things here.  I have an old 1040st, [...]
>...
>I am particularly concious of RFI [radio frequency interference]
>because, as a radio amateur I am constantly running both radios and
>computers in close proximity.

and further on, he says:

> [...] How this thing ever got past the FCC I can't begin to imagine.

	It just might be that his machine did not have FCC approval.

I dont know where Ross bought his machine, but I notice that his
address, (like mine) is Canadian.  I always assumed that my machine
did not have FCC approval at the time I bought it.

So, I ask you, users who bought outside USA,

	does your machine have an FCC label on it?

If you bought your machine outside the USA, does it have on it
any sticker or label on it that says FCC approved, or the like?
Such a label might make reference to subsection J, class B
computing device.
