Gene, It would depend on who you purchased your AMP from, and if it was
NEW at the time of purchase. If it was not "NEW" at the time of your
purchase, and you purchased it from another HAM, or another Ham owned it
at some previous time, then it is waived under 47CFRPart97.315(b)4,& 5,
and if you Modify your "NEW" Purchase, by drilling a hole somewhere in
the AMP, to add it to YOUR Station (Modification) they it is waived under
47CFR97.315(b)3(ii), as long as you don't "Modify" more than one AMP
per year, for your personal use. (47CFRPart97.315(a).


Bruce,

Yes, I understand that.

My initial comment was directed at the growing theme in the messages,
not specifically expressed by you, that amateurs could legally use *any*
transmitter as long as output power rules were not violated.

It ain't necessarily so.
