You have to be careful here Jeff. The frequency range for evaluation to GR-1089 starts at 150kHz and goes up to 10 GHz. The FCC Part 15 testing range is from 30MHz-1.0GHz. The GR-1089 spec also contains Immunity requirements. Further, the objective is to meet the spec with all covers, panels, doors off/open which is not typically done during FCC testing. Additionally, look at it from this perspective: If an RBOC is going to be reviewing proposals, if there are two similar products competing, they will choose the one that meets the details of the NEBS spec, than the one that took steps to 'look like' they meet NEBS, even if the product costs more. The RBOCs are a different breed than the usual commercial customer.
