Hi, guys. I'm a newbie.
I'm planning to buy some USRPs and start learning gnu radio.
By the way, somebody told me that I need a license from FCC to use gnu radio.
And he said that getting a license is not the manufacturer's duty but mine.
Is this true?
Do you guys have licenses?

If you're using USRP for receiving, no licensing is required.
But if you're using it for transmitting in the amateur-radio bands, then
you'll
definitely need to get yourself an amateur-radio license.
If you're using it for transmitting in bands other than amateur-radio,
then the rules
become much more complicated. In the U.S., any devices must be
type-accepted
(certified by the FCC) in order to transmit anywhere other than the
amateur-radio
bands. In many of those non-amateur-radio bands, you'll also need a
seperate
"user" license.
Keep in mind also, that in many countries (the U.K. comes to mind) there
have been
requirements to license *receivers*. I'm not sure whether this is
still a requirement
in the U.K. or not.
