  The answer listed in 594280 D01 is not consistent with the FCC's rules, further it is not consistent with the attached document 594280 D01 Software Configuration Control v01; the current answer is incomplete at best. Answer: No, unless the device is approved as Software Defined Radio or has received specific FCC approval. A professional installer setting the transmitter power and disabling channels to mitigate interference is not modifying the software. The software remains unchanged and unmodified after such settings are made. It is the responsibility of the Grantee to limit the scope of the changes / settings available to the professional installer so that the device operates under the terms and conditions of the grant. Additionally the Grantee is responsible for any new version of code released continues to operate under the terms and conditions of the grant.
