This is not an official Elecraft reply, but a quick glance at the FCC's
Equipment Authorization database shows FCC ID numbers only for the power
amps, in the form of UTR-(model number). Other equipment need only be
certified by the manufacturer that it meets receiver RF leakage
requirements and does not receive an FCC ID number.

I hope that Eric or Wayne can shed some more light on this.

CAN ANYONE IMAGINE THIS COST?!
SO, ELECRAFT SHOULD HAVE AN FCC ID FOR ALL THEIR EQUIPMENTS.

Re: KX-2 FCC/DOC ID number?

Elecraft’s reply is exactly accurate. We are governed by FCC part 97. Amateur Service only requires certification for amplifiers. Read it!!

If the other products you’re looking at are also used outside ham radio, that would explain why they have it.

It’s surprising to me that other countries would need FCC registration which the FCC doesn’t require. Are you sure they won’t accept the manufacturer’s declaration f conformity?

They do it for Part 15, I believe. Eric may have more details.

There is no requirement to do this for Part 97.

Re: KX-2 FCC/DOC ID number?

It also may be important for the authorities in Brazil to know that the
KX2 does not transmit outside the amateur band limits.

If the Brazilian amateur band limits are different than those in the US,
Elecraft can program it to observe the band limits of most any country.
I don't think that programming can be done in the field, but I may be
mistaken.
