And the "Jiffy Cable Company" sells descramblers and the matching test sets only to experimenters, not for the purpose of defrauding cable TV vendors. Please guys; let this man know that not only will you not buy the power amp, he can keep his other stuff as well, 'cause you're not interested in doing business with someone who trades in contraband. Note that he could have said "for sale only to a licensed amateur radio operator who's in the callbook." He didn't. You might also let his system administrator know that his system is being used to traffic in merchandise intended for the violation of federal law. Caveat emptor, in any case. Many of the "linears" manufactured for CB use are absolute trash, and just not up to par in terms of signal quality. Seems that the "outlaws" are more concerned with how loud they are than with how good they sound. Surprise, surprise. Greg

Note that he could have said "for sale only to a >licensed amateur radio operator who's in the callbook." He didn't. Thats right. Also, be sure to boycott every auto parts store in the country because they all sell parts marked "for off road use only" to people without having proof that its not going to be used on the street. And be sure to boycott grocery stores because they sell chemicals that can be used to make high explosives (to minors, even)! Be sure to avoid electronics supply houses that sell the components to make *illegal* transmitters to people who don't even know how to solder, let alone licenced hams. Get a clue. He said what it was. If you don't want it, don't buy it. -- ################################# :alex. #Disclaimer: Anyone who agrees # Systems Programmer #with me deserves what they get.# University of Maryland Baltimore County ################################# alex@umbc3.umbc.edu

Sorry, Title 47 Code of Federal Regulations Part 2 Paragraph 815. (It's reprinted in the ARRL's "The FCC Rule Book") subparagraph b "After April 27, 1978, no person shall manufacture, sell or lease, offer for sale or lease (including advertising for sale or lease), or import, ship or distribute for the purpose of selling or leasing or offering for sale or lease, any external radio frequency power amplifier or amplifier kit capable of operation on any frequency or frequencies between 24 and 35 MHz." Subparagraph a gives a definition of what and External radio frequency power amplifier is. Subparagraph c says all power amps that operate below 144 Mhz have to be type accepted, subparagraphs d and e give some expemptions to hams, (and only hams). Also part 97 (the ham regs) paragraphs 315 and 317 give more fine print on what hams can do. Like only sell or make one a year of any one model. Mark Zenier markz@ssc.uucp mzenier@polari.uucp

The `gentlemen' in question BROKE FEDERAL LAW by even submitting the for sale notice. I will not hesitate to point out that ignorance of the law has never been a defense ;-). Bob N4HY P.S. I think the regulation basically sucks but it is law. The pain it has caused amateurs wanting 10 meter amplifiers is (while not an insurmountable obstacle) a real thorn in the butt. -- ____________________________________________________________________________ My opinions are my own no matter | Robert W.

The problem occurs when they are powered on and hooked >to both a radio and antenna. Not true, Jeff. The law states that thow shall not *sell* amplifiers capable of being used on 11 meters. This is why you can't buy a 10 meter linear in the states. The manufacturer provides modification instructions after the sale, and only to verified license holders. Many folks have been shut down and fined by the FCC for just intending to sell these illegal linears. "Problems" may occur when they are hooked up to a radio and powered on, but it is true that the sale of such beasts is in fact illegal.
