Re: [Amps] Amplifier that was for sale

Dave,

I was by the FCC website about a month back and couldn't see anything 
about a rule change. I don't know if it passed or not. I heard it was 
probably going to but not a soul has said if it did or didn't, or at 
least that I've heard. Of course I haven't really tried to find out that 
much either. I figured if it did, someone on here would tell it. If 
anyone knows, did or didn't it? A link to any new FCC rules would come 
in handy with an answer too.

Best & 73's
