According to this FCC legal statement:
The term “kit” is defined in Section 15.3(p) as “[a]ny number of electronic parts, usually provided with a
schematic diagram or printed circuit board, which, when assembled in accordance with instructions, results in a device subject to the regulations in this Part, even if additional parts of any type are required to complete
assembly.” 47 C.F.R. § 15.3(p).
Does this mean that if a company/individual supplied a fully assembled and working circuit board and all the end user had to do is assemble it into a case, connect some wires, add an antenna etc. that this would still be legal as a kit in the eyes of the FCC?
If that is the case, then the Antique Radio Collector could legally assemble the PCB (which is really 99% of the work) and provide “kit” instructions to install the PCB into the case.
Would this be OK? Is anyone a lawyer here?
