Seriously, you think we care about FCC certification? Ask anyone with ASIC on order if they'd rather wait an extra 2 weeks to receive an "approved" item; whaddya think they'll say? "Ooo I'll get hiss whenever I move my radio within 3 feet of it. Who cares. Just gimme my magic money box, NOW!"
The approval isn't for you. The approval is so the FCC doesn't shut down production and subject the manufacturer to penalties and fees.
