Blah blah, more lawyer stuff. All these notes don’t make a hill of beans
without any sort of enforcment. First priority for the enforcement is the junk
electronics that is in our midst. Then go after the CB amps.

You left out 97.315:
§97.315 Certification of external RF power amplifiers.
(a) Any external RF power amplifier (see §2.815 of the FCC Rules) manufactured
or imported for use at an amateur radio station must be certificated for use in
the amateur service in accordance with subpart J of part 2 of the FCC Rules. No
amplifier capable of operation below 144 MHz may be constructed or modified by
a non-amateur service licensee without a grant of certification from the FCC.
(b) The requirement of paragraph (a) does not apply if one or more of the
following conditions are met:
(1) The amplifier is constructed or modified by an amateur radio operator for
use at an amateur station.
(2) The amplifier was manufactured before April 28, 1978, and has been issued a
marketing waiver by the FCC, or the amplifier was purchased before April 28,
1978, by an amateur radio operator for use at that operator's station.
(3) The amplifier is sold to an amateur radio operator or to a dealer, the
amplifier is purchased in used condition by a dealer, or the amplifier is sold
to an amateur radio operator for use at that operator's station.
(c) Any external RF power amplifier appearing in the Commission's database as
certificated for use in the amateur service may be marketed for use in the
amateur service.
