I believe the FCC rule applies only to a manufacturer who
is going to offer an FCC "type accepted" unit or kit "over
the counter" intended for sale to the amateur community.
I believe a home brew, for one's own use, or later, to sell
to another ham, the gain limit would not apply. There is a
clear distinction in the Part 97 rule between a commercial
unit and the homebrew unit. See 97.315 and 97.317.
