RE: Changing frequency
Wow. Looks like people were getting pretty angry in that last thread.
I read through the regs page (twice) and by reason of the way Section 95 is written (vagueness, confusing references, etc.), am thoroughly convinced that the FCC is a government entity. I was half expecting a reference to a flux capacitor in there somewhere...
I understand why you wouldn't want to just change the Tx. That's a no brainer. I sent the FCC an email asking them who is "certified as technically qualified" in the following excerpt from Sec 95.221(b)
...
The internal repairs or internal
adjustments should be performed by or under the immediate supervision
and responsibility of a person certified as technically qualified to
perform transmitter maintenance and repair duties in the private land
mobile services and fixed services by an organization or committee
representative of users in those services.
Hopefully they get back to me within a month or so. Pending on what they say, I may just have to trade my 7CHP in on an Eclipse w/ spectra module. We'll see.
