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? If what you guys say is true (technically, it probably is by law) then JR is breaking the law by selling individual TX crystals. You can't buy TX crystals from Airtronics.
I tend to think this is a bunch of government gobbldygook.
Synthesized modules have no crystals, thus, no need to tune for variance in crystals. JR is not breaking the law by selling TX crystals and is just ridiculous to state they are. It's what the end user does with that crystal that makes it legal or illegal, just like any other product.
government gobbldygook, maybe but...
There are commercial users between the frequencies that we use who pay big money for a licence to operate, go ahead and interfere with one of those with a improperly tuned TX and see what happens.
To carry this analogy one step further:
Gun dealers sell guns. They don't know if you are buying it to protect yourself or to rob a bank or commit murder. Don't blame the dealer - blame the end user.
Please - no comments from anti-gun nuts. I don't want to hear it.
