The latest Sport Aviation has an article saying that we're not allowed to

do it, but he does leave the caveat that the rules don't apply to us
homebuilders.

It's bad enough that EAA actively ignores homebuilders, but now are the
going to actively attack us with FUD?

Umm...if you're talking about a transmitter, then the rules do apply.
Jim used to sell com radio kits, but you had to send them back for the
final "blessing."

It should be pointed out that the "rules" regulating the transmitters are
established by the FCC (not the FAA.) The type of "air worthiness
certificated" issued by the FAA has no relevance to communication equipment
standards established by the FCC.
