 None !!
 He clearly states that this was part of a self-inspection, one of those 
 make believe things one of our list participants does inspections for.
 ( whose initials are ??, but shall remain nameless, unless he wishes
 to chime in )

 There is no guarantee that a state association inspection provides any
 immunity from a real FCC inspector walking in, but it's generally
 assumed to be the case.
 It's merely a dress rehearsal.
 I'd have not spent any $$ to comply with the wishes of a mis-informed
 volunteer absent serious motivation otherwise.

 Of course, I'm a guy who has challenged real FCC field engineers,
 and won every time.
