Ria, I don't believe we have heard anything from the FCCafter counsel Imlay wrote them twice last October and after Imlay, Shelley andHenderson had a teleconference with FCC officials also in October. See Imlay's JanuaryBoard Report ODV: 27883, January 15, 2019. Imlay was to have written a white paper for us to use withour members but I can't find it if he did. I know we had web articlesinitially. Howard, do you have anything to add that I missed? Pleasefollow up with Siddall. 73Rick - K5UR -----Original Message----- From: rjairam@gmail.com <rjairam@gmail.com> To: ODV <arrl-odv@arrl.org> Sent: Sun, May 12, 2019 9:02 am Subject: [arrl-odv:28153] FCC DA-18-980 - import radios Can we get a status update as to where we are with trying to get this clarified for amateur radio? Several of the members in my division are asking about it. Basically this advisory broadly bans import radios that are not FCC certified. For amateur use we know that we do not need to use certified radios as the licensee is ultimately responsible for their own compliance with part 97 rules. However the FCC’s advisory still effectively bans them. I assume that this was handed over from our previous counsel to Mr. Siddall but I haven’t heard anything further to this. https://docs.fcc.gov/public/attachments/DA-18-980A1.pdf Ria, N2RJ _______________________________________________ arrl-odv mailing list arrl-odv@reflector.arrl.org https://reflector.arrl.org/mailman/listinfo/arrl-odv
