It is a shame that there is not more FCC enforcement directed at manufacturers rather than at consumers. Have you ever tried to convince a consumer that his expensive TV is producing radiation that is interfering with your ham radio? Talk about getting that "deer in the headlights" stare! The worst thing that the FCC could have done is regulate the consumer (don't use it if it causes interference). Consumers just cannot believe that anything they have purchased would create a problem for others.
