ARRL Finds Welcome News in FCC “Smart Radio” Order
May 4, 2007 by kb3ljm.
In a recent Memorandum Opinion and Order (MO&O) on cognitive or “smart radio” systems, the FCC has affirmed its favorable policy toward the regulation of amateur software defined radios (SDRs). A cognitive radio system is an SDR that can adapt its operating parameters by interacting with its RF environment. The FCC’s April 20 MO&O was in response to petitions seeking clarification of the Commission’s March 2005 Report and Order (R&O) in ET Docket 03-108. In that proceeding the agency declined to adopt any new regulations for cognitive Amateur Radio transceivers or for digital-to-analog (D/A) converters. ARRL Chief Technology Officer Paul Rinaldo, W4RI, says the April MO&O indicates that the FCC intends to treat Amateur Radio SDRs the same as any other Amateur Radio equipment.
