Ham Radio Question: Old 10-meter transceiver?
I have an old 10-meter ham radio transceiver.
I tried to sell it on eBay, and was told it is now illegal to sell such items. I guess the spectrum changed or something.
Ebay gave me this site to explain it:
http://www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/
But, I cannot make head or tails of the gobbledegook government speak.
Can any tell me in plain English why the old 10-meter transceiver is illegal now??
It appears to me that the "Equipment Authorization" and "Compliance" certification requirements, as outlined on the FCC site, only apply to newly manufactured radio and telephone equipment.
We are all familiar with how we see virtually all electronics equipment has stickers on the back stating that a particular product is certified to meed FCC radiation specifications.
I expect your 10 meter xcvr has been certified by the FCC at one point in time. Does it have a visible certification sticker?
It would help if it did.
There may exist the issue of "resale" of equipment that was once certified by FCC. But once used, does it still meet FCC specifications? Perhaps because ham radio operators are notorious for modifying their own equipment, that once modified, it can no longer be certified to meet FCC certification without retesting. Even if you never did any modifications, how can you certify and verify that you didn't, or that it still meets FCC standards?
I am not personally familiar with the rules that eBay are citing that it is illegal to resale radio equipment. However, it may well be the issue of "licensing". All ham radio equipment requires the operator to have a valid Ham Radio Operators License. If you sell it on eBay, how can you guarantee that only licensed ham radio operators are purchasing it?
Personally, I wasn't aware that you cannot resale ham radio equipment without having the equipment "recertified by the FCC".....
