Abstract: Part 5 allows for operations not covered under other FCC rule parts, such as research and development, testing prior to equipment authorization, and limited market studies of experimental services/products. Applicants are generally electronic equipment manufacturers. Applicants applying for a FCC license to operate a new or modified experimental radio station are required to file FCC Form 442. The FCC will use the information to determine if the applicant is eligible for an experimental license, to comply with the the requirements of Part 5 of the FCC rules and if the proposed operation will cause interference to existing operations.
