The Part 15 rules state that the ERP is what they consider, not the just power output from the final amplifier; so you can see why this strange and hard to get connector would hinder all but the most determined.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p> <p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>Sorry to digress, but I have also had a hard time sourcing the reverse TNC connectors here in Canada; there are a couple of places in the US where they are available at a very high price.
