How so?  Pse explain.   The FCC can regulate commercial manufacture and sale 
of amateur gear, but I am unaware of any restrictions on the gear we USE as 
long as it transmits a signal that falls within the technical requirements 
in part 97.  We can build or modify our own amplifiers to work on 10m, and 
we can legally own a rig that translmits outside the ham bands as  long as 
we keep our on-the-air operations legal according to the rules..

Or has something changed that I am not aware of?
