Which says, in part, "The FCC equipment authorization program does not
generally apply to amateur station transmitters."
One of the primary reasons many of us hold Amateur licenses is because we
can build or modify transmitting equipment without getting FCC approval or
having an FCC review, perhaps from a kit or our own design built with parts
from our junk boxes. I certainly have never seen any FCC designation applied
to any of my homebrew rigs or to any of the many kits I've built over the
last 60 years.
If Phil Kane, a career FCC engineer until his retirement a few years ago,
doesn't know about it, you can be sure it's something very recent,
apparently something that applies only to some imported gear for the "plug
'n play" Hams.
Faced with such a question for any equipment that didn't show a number, I
would insert "Not Applicable" or "None".
