[RFI] ARRL to FCC...

[mstangelo at comcast.net]

Ken brings up a good point.

How many of us buy goods on ebay which is shipped directly form China because the price is right.

How many of us check to see if it meets FCC Part 15?

The most effective oversite is if the FCC tested every piece of electronic equipment. It would severly delay the introduction of electronic devices to the marketplace and jack up the price. Unfortunately this is not practical.

The U.S. gummint has no authority whatever over manufacturers in other 
countries, especially China.

The only ones our gummint can go after are the importers and sellers.
