This appears to be one of those bands.
True, but, as an indication of the sensible policy of spectrum management authorities, extremely low-power products such as digital watches are not even within the scope of the EMC Directive. I would go for a 'de minimis exemption' from the spectrum management authorities. The curious product in question doesn't produce electromagnetic waves - it's far too small. The electrostatic field surely reduces to a negligible value within a metre or less. What could it possibly interfere with? -- Regards, John Woodgate, OOO - Own Opinions Only.
