If you want to manufacture a microprocessor-based device on a small scale, what do you do about FCC testing, approval, registration? Is there a special class of FCC approval for small production quantities (say under 100 units/year)? Can you use the cop-out clause: This device must accept any interference..... The user of this device must correct any interference.... etc. that you see so often on cordless phones, garage door openers, etc. and avoid getting FCC approval at all? If you must have FCC certification no matter what, does anyone have an example of the costs involved? I've heard a lot about manufacturers of MIDI interfaces getting busted for failure to meet FCC regs. I'm just wondering if they could get me for custom-building and/or producing a few MPU devices for sale. Thanks for any input! Paul
