<DIV>No argument there. What's legal to the FCC should determine what's legal to the AMA, not vice versa. However, the AMA TD has made his stance known--whether it's a truly informed, researched decision backed up with FCC data or not is only for him and the AMA Frequency Committee to know--for now. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Here's the AMA TD's response to a letter written to him concerning the issue, pasted from the RCGroups thread:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><!--StartFragment --> From: Steve Kaluf <BR>Date: Monday, February 13, 2006 3:09 pm<BR>Subject: RE: Need your guidance on the following<BR><BR>> Ed, Horizon Hobby and the AMA Frequency Committee agree that the <BR>> practice of putting the RF section of the DX 6 system into any other <BR>> transmitter is a violation of FCC regulations. As such this practice <BR>> is a violation of the AMA Safety Code, as well as illegal under the <BR>> Code of Federal Regulations. The practice should not be tolerated at <BR>> clubs fields, events or any where else.<BR>> <BR>> Steve Kaluf<BR>> Technical Director<BR>> Academy of Model Aeronautics<BR>> United States of America </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>
<DIV>Interestingly, I have not been able to find anything specific in the AMA safety code or other documents that disallows transmitter modifications, except for user-performed TX crystal changes. The only references made are to that, and that all transmitters must function only on FCC-allowed frequencies set aside for R/C use.</DIV>

<DIV>Legal in terms of the FCC and legal in terms of AMA may not be the same, but in anycase, the AMA would not advocate the use of a radio system which has not been approved by the FCC for the specific use.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>None of the radio manufacturers would advocate the type of modification discussed. AMA requires equipment be used within limits/guidance put forth by the manufacturers.</DIV>
