I think you will find that manufactured ham transmitters and 
receivers are submitted for FGCC approval.  Home built is not per 
regulations.  How often you see a new piece fo equipment advertised 
not that waiting for FCC approval to be marketed.  What regulations 
are for imported equipment to the US?
