Thanks again, Jim

I saw no FCC ID number on the Examiner. In fact you saw what I saw from the photos I posted. I could find no numbers anywhere except some silk screened on components.

I doubt the Examiner is subject to FCC ID, as it has no power source other than picking up induced signals broadcast by the calculator (I believe the calculator is approved for use in the USA). I would imagine the Examiner actually detects and emits signals in a similar fashion to a crystal radio, so whatever FCC requirements a crystal radio has would seem to be correct for the Examiner. But then I'm just guessing.

I receieved an email from the Rangertell factory rep stating they received the Examiner I returned.
They gave me permission to repost their email message, so here is what they said:
"The returned Examiner's coil required readjusting. Whether this occurred during transit or not is impossible to tell.
It works fine now but we’ve sent another to save time. This doesn’t happen often but it does occasionally. In these cases we replace free of charge.
There were also issues with the trimmer cap making the first experiments inaccurate".

I expect the replacement Examiner to arrive any day now judging from my previous experience with shipping from Australia.

Best wishes,
