This is spin off of the JARD certification thread.  Regarding FCC 
type acceptance: CFR-47: 97.315
As a general disclaimer FCC regs are written legalese language which 
is almost impossible to completely translate to common language and logic.

97.315, b) Any external RF power amplifier or external RF amplifier 
kit...must be type accepted...  This requirement does not apply if 
one or more of the following conditions are met:

1) The amplifier is not capable of operations below 144 MHz...
2) The amplifier was manufactured before April 28, 1978...

    (i) Constructed by the licensee, not from an amplifier kit, for

4) The amplifier was sold by an amateur operator to another amateur

5) The amplifier is purchased in used condition by an equipment 
dealer from an amateur operator...and is further sold to another
