Should I assume that you are referring to the old "CB" type license that used to be required to operate an R/C TX?
No, there is no FCC licience to repair RC radios. There is nothing in the regs that require a licence, only Futaba and other demanding it is so. If you go back and reread the reg it says you cannot MODIFY the radio, it does not say you cannot service it. However it says NO ONE may modify the radio and that messing with the frequency so that it transmits on a non RC frequency is a modification. Therefore if you change the crystal you may be modifying the radio. Only someone with the proper frequency analyser and skill can do this and be sure he is not modifying the radio.
Re-read post #3 above. You are absolutely in error.
"E). 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.
This mean a LICENSE.
Changing the crystal IS an adjustment which may cause a need for FURTHER adjustments. It certainly causes a need for further testing to determine the status of operation.
If there was a requirement for an FCC license then it would have said so. Instead it says <b>certified</b>. Read the parts about broadcast, aviation and others were a license is required. I think they have been using factory certification, not FCC license.
