[Amps] Amplifier that was for sale

[Dave Meitzen]

The NPRM has not been ruled on as far as I can tell. Here is a nice write
up.

You can google on FCC docket 04-140 and get 10 pages at least.
FYI

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
