What were the changes eliminating certain restrictions on equipment manufacturers?
A. Simply put, the guidelines on external RF amplifiers were clarified. They must still be granted a certification under Part 2 equipment authorization standards and may not be easily modifiable to non-amateur service use. They can not exhibit the ability to amplify in the 26 – 28 MHz frequency range. The FCC also decided not to include a definition of kits as they apply to RF amplifiers.
