Ohhhh-Kay now:


 From FCC Part 2:

§ 2.815
         External radio frequency power amplifiers.

         (a) As used in this part, an external radio frequency power 
amplifier is any device which, (1) when used in conjunction with a radio 
transmitter as a signal source is capable of amplification of that 
signal, and (2) is not an integral part of a radio transmitter as 
manufactured.
         (b) No person shall manufacture, sell or lease, offer for sale 
or lease (including advertising for sale or lease) or import, ship or 
distribute for the purpose of selling or leasing or offering for sale or 
lease, any external radio frequency power amplifier capable of operation 
on any frequency or frequencies below 144 MHz unless the amplifier has 
received a grant of certification in accordance with subpart J of this 
part and other relevant parts of this chapter. These amplifiers shall 
comply with the following:
         (1) The external radio frequency power amplifier shall not be 
capable of amplification in the frequency band 26-28 MHz.
         (2) The amplifier shall not be capable of easy modification to 
permit its use as an amplifier in the frequency band 26-28 MHz.
         (3) No more than 10 external radio frequency power amplifiers 
may be constructed for evaluation purposes in preparation for the 
submission of an application for a grant of certification.
         (4) If the external radio frequency power amplifier is intended 
for operation in the Amateur Radio Service under part 97 of this 
chapter, the requirements of §§ 97.315 and 97.317 of this chapter shall 
be met.
