shared these priceless pearls of wisdom:

- I am an electronics engineer and I though a good project would be to build
- an aircraft tranceiver.


-
-You may not operate such a tranciever (even to test it) unless you and the
-equipment are licensed.

That is not true. You can't get the license until you do the TA & C tests, and
you can't do the tests until you get the license? No, the FCC does not make us
do the chase-your-tail routine so common with the FAA.

BTW for both of you, it is "transceiver".


You won't get the equipment licensed without paying
-mucho money.

The rules allow a little latitude, much more than you realize. Mucho is in the
eye of the muchee.


Amateur ("ham") radio operator can build and operate their own
-equipment but only on the ham bands.

That isn't true either.




That would be something to look into. Go
-to http://www.arrl.com for information on how to get involved in ham radio and
-get licensed.

You are telling an electronic engineer about ARRL? That's a kick.
