There are all sorts of transmitters. If the transmitter radiates in the RF spectrum, it's generally "regulated" by the FCC. It's also true that
certain low power transmitters have minimal use restrictions. "Flea Power" transmitters generally don't cause problems, unless they are used in a way that is intended to create trouble.
Licensed transmitters are also regulated. Unlicensed transmitters fall under various regulations.

I spent a large part of my career dealing with unlicensed and unregulated (by the FCC) high power transmitters (Jammers) and transponders
used by the government and military in hostile environments.
