APPENDIX A: FCC RULES AND INFORMATION
The Rules of the FCC (Federal Communications Commission) and your kit
built FM Stereo Transmitter.
An interim explanation of applicable FCC regulations supplied as a personal
assistance to FM10C builders, by Dan F. Onley (K4ZRA)
It is the policy of Ramsey Electronics, Inc., that knowing and observing the
lawful use of all kits is a first responsibility of our kit user-builders. We do not
endorse any unlawful use of any of our kits, and we do try to give you as
much common sense help about normal and lawful use as we can. Further,
it is the policy of Ramsey Electronics, Inc., to cooperate with all applicable
federal regulations in the design and marketing of our electronics kit prod-
ucts. Finally, we urge all of our overseas customers to observe the regula-
tions of their own national telecommunications authorities.
In all instances, compliance with FCC rules in the operation of what the FCC
terms an "intentional radiator" is always the responsibility of the user of such
an "intentional radiator".
To order your copy of FCC rules part 15, call the US Government, Superin-
tendent of Documents, at 202-512-3238, or fax at 202-512-2250. To order
the correct document, ask for “CFR Title 17: Parts 1 to 19.” The cost is
$24.00, Master Card and Visa accepted.
In the United States, this is how the FCC regards your transmitter kit:
Licensed FM broadcast stations and their listeners have ALL the rights! Your
use of a device such as the FM10C kit MAY have some limited privileges in
locally-unused band space.
Unlicensed operation of small transmitting devices is discussed in "Part 15"
of the FCC Rules. These Rules are published in 100 "Parts," covering eve-
rything imaginable concerning the topic of "Telecommunications." The six
books containing the FCC Rules are section 47 of the complete Code of
Federal Regulations, which you are likely to find in the Reference section of
your Public Library. If you have questions about the legal operation of your
FM10C or any other kit or home-built device which emits RF energy, it is
your responsibility to study the FCC regulations. It is best if YOU read (and
consult with a lawyer if you are in doubt) the rules and do not bother the un-
derstaffed and busy FCC employees with questions that are clearly an-
swered in the rules.
Here are the primary "dos and don'ts" picked from the current FCC Rules, as
of May, 1990. This is only a
brief look at the rules and should not be con-
