eBay Restricts Listings of Radio Equipment, but Exempts Ham-Band-Only Gear
Summary
The ARRL Letter reports that eBay has restricted listings of radio transmitting equipment following FCC rules, but exempts gear operating only on amateur radio frequencies. The FCC's Third Report and Order requires FCC ID for devices that transmit RF energy, while amateur equipment that doesn't require authorization remains exempt. ARRL clarifies policy and notes potential confusion for sellers.
