OK, then why am I able to change my JR 9303 from a fixed frequency module to a synthesized module and change frequencies to anything I want?
Because that's exactly the sort of flexibility that a synthesizer is intended, designed, and certified for. Why else would people use them?!
I tend to think this is a bunch of government gobbldygook.
You're entitled to your opinion, but does your opinion change the law or the nature of the electronics? If you choose to save yourself a couple of bucks, I hope you have the moral courage to stand up when/if your savings costs someone a model (or more!). We have a responsibility to each other and to the hobby as a whole to make sure that our equipment is maintained properly.
