And we are the Part 15 guys, they are Powells's buddies, they will get anything they want, as evidenced by the recent actions of the FCC.
Wrong we are part 95, all transmitters must also meet part 15 as to transmission of unassigned frequencies, in fact all electronic devices must meet part 15 including for example computers. BPL is supposed to meet part 15 on all frequecies including ours. So what's the harm?
I was wrong, the new radio I am working on is Part 15. My confusion.
From what I understand, the FCC would agree with you....ie "what's the problem?"
Their attitude is until comeone can show there is interference, there is not any. They will handle any complaints as they come up.
The HAMs will be all over this. This should be an interesting fight.
I agree with Phil's technical assesment BTW. THere might be some marginal increase in noise, but not much, highly localized. It just seems to me that there is so much nervousness flying on these narrowband channels that this will just add to the folklore!
