FCC penalizes marketer of Ham-band drone audio-visual transmitters

The ARRL reports The FCC has imposed a $180,000 civil penalty on a
Sarasota, Florida, company that had been marketing noncompliant
audio-visual transmitters intended for use on drones in violation of the
Commission’s Amateur Service and marketing rules

In an Order released on December 19, the FCC explained that Lumenier Holdco
LLC (formerly known as FPV Manuals LLC) was advertising and marketing
uncertified AV transmitters capable of operating on both amateur and
non-amateur frequencies, including bands reserved for federal government
use. Some of the transmitters also exceeded the 1-W power limit for Amateur
Radio transmitters used on model craft, the FCC said.

“Moreover, entities that rely on amateur frequencies in operating compliant
AV transmitters must have an amateur license and otherwise comply with all
applicable laws for such operation,� the FCC said in the Order. The FCC
said that while it generally has not required amateur equipment to be
certified if it operates solely on Amateur Radio frequencies, certification
is required if a device can operate outside of the ham bands.
