ENFORCEMENT: FCC SETTLES 2007 UNCERTIFIED TRANSMITTERS WITH
CONSENT DECREE
A Consent Decree has ended the case involving a hobby
electronics supplier accused by the FCC of selling non-
certified broadcast transmitters in the United States.
Amateur Radio Newsline's Norm Seeley, KI7UP, has the
details:
--
The FCC has entered into a Consent Decree with Richard Mann
doing business as the Antique Radio Collector. The Consent
Decree settles an enforcement proceeding begun back in
November of 2006, when the FCC's Spectrum Enforcement
Division issued the Letter of Inquiry to Mann in response to
a complaint alleging that he was assembling SSTRAN model
AMT3000 AM transmitters built from kits and then marketing
them in the United States.
In March of 2007 the regulatory agency issued the Notice of
Apparent Liability for Forfeiture against Mann in the amount
of $7,000 wich was affirmed that November. This lead to a
number of Petitions for Reconsideration over the next 5
years and finally to a decision by the FCC and Mann that it
would be far more prudent to finalize the matter through a
Consent Decree. This decree has now been accepted by all
parties and brings the matter to a close.
For the Amateur radio Newsline, I'm Norm Seeley, KI7UP, in
Scottsdale, Arizona.

ENFORCEMENT: ANOTHER UNLICENSED FLORIDA BROADCASTER FINED
The FCC has affirmed a Forfeiture Order in the amount of ten
$10,000 to Robenson Thermitus of Miami, Florida. This for
his alleged operation of an unlicensed radio transmitter on
the frequency 98.7 MHz in the Miami area.
Back on January 20, 2012, the Enforcement Bureau's Miami
Office issued the $10,000 Notice of Apparent Liability for
Forfeiture to Thermitus. Since that time Thermitus has not
filed a response to the NAL.
Now, based on the information the FCC has before it, the
regulatory agency has now upheld the forfeiture order and
given. Its also provided Thermitus the customary 30 days to
pay the fine or to file an appeal. (FCC)
