<DIV>Yes, it's expensive- it cost £2800GBP/$4700USD for the M3X to go through that process of CE/FCC which was pretty extreme. Also, the amount of time wasting was amazing- I had some bad luck during my cert. process...the guy testing the gear complained two days on the trot of suffering from a hangover! I don't want to mention names or instutes, but it was a scottish university that had the facilities. At one point the guy wanted to bump the price up by another £800! I asked for the proceedings to stop...the guy panicked, offered to buy me lunch etc. and told me to forget about the price increase because I could not afford it. I also took a crack on the head from the large aluminium bar that held the GTEM (testing tank) door shut- it flew open and floored me! I could go on- subsequent complaints about this proved fruitless- and i am still be charged for this crappy service- now by court order. So my message is- beware! Testing of this stuff is literaly a grey area- an open !
cheque to
some. If you do put the CE/FCC label on without testing- I believe that you actually have two or three weeks to prove your claim...so far, I have not been asked once for any certification of my gear- but its cost a bomb!</DIV>
