A good place to see what the .gov has to say about all this is at: http://www.fcc.gov/oet/info/documents/bulletins/ oet61.pdf <~500kb> is the relevant document. oet63.pdf is a more abbreviated commentary incl. 'private' use N.B. that (as best I recall) a "transmitter" is anything that can transmit rf, intentional or not. The short answer is you can't sell or transfer anything, but it seems VERY unclear about e.g. a 'hobby' data link with published design but (many) 'free' individual builders. I'd like to here anything on that (privately). R.Martin R.Martin
