It's the application, not the device. The FCC leaves certain interpretations broad enough to give us experimental elbow room. We are experimenters, right? I think we know what the rules say. We can integrate FCC compliance into the protocol, surely. Let's not bring commandments down on ourselves that will stifle experimentation with this surplus equipment.
Bob, I've googled my heart out trying to find any info on modding pagers to bring them into our bands, with no joy. Any groups out there working on them? Mailing lists?
