Transmitter type acceptance?

I’ve been following this list for about a year, my primary interest was
in
applications for Amateur radio.

My reason for this posting is in response to Tom’s inquiry about White
space
usage.

To my understanding Ettus research hardware is intended for use only as
a
laboratory instrument, There are very specific rules regarding
intentional
radiators.

What is the general consensus for getting the transmitters type
accepted?

Getting type acceptance on an exposed-to-end-user SDR platform would
be extremely costly and diifficult and rife with heartburn and ulcers.

That’s my impression based on watching the FCC over the years
