[Amps] Interesting new amplifier

[Val]

Yes, you could, but I wonder whether this would be legal, or just 
nobody cares.

The FCC form 740 have to be filled when a HF power amplifier is being 
imported in the USA. The importer has to declare one of the cases 
listed below:

1. An equipment authorization has been issued by the FCC

2. An equipment authorization is not required but the equipment 
complies with FCC technical requirements.

3. The described equipment is being imported in limited quantities for 
testing and evaluation for compliance with technical requirements or 
marketing suitability. The equipment will not be offered for sale or 
otherwise marketed.

4. The described equipment is being imported in limited quantities for 
demonstration at industry trade shows and will not be offered for sale 
or otherwise marketed.

5. The described equipment is being imported solely for export. It 
will not be offered for sale or otherwise marketed in the U.S.

6. The described equipment is being imported for use exclusively by 
the U.S. Government

7. Three or fewer radio receivers, computers, or other unintentional 
radiators as defined in Part 15 of the FCC Rules, are being imported 
for an individual's personal use and are not intended for sale.

8. The described equipment in being imported for repair and will not 
be offered for sale or otherwise marketed .


There is no case like this: The equipment does not comply with FCC 
requirements but is imported for an individual use.
