Another question for the list. I see an AM/FM receiver with a USB port 
and a RS-232 port on the back. Yes, there are processors and clocks inside.

According to the FCC rules, the receiver needs only verification and not 
certification, and it specifies a short FCC statement for the back of 
the product. I don't have the text here, but it is not the same 
statement as applied on classical computers and printers, etc.

The EMC test lab said the receiver is a digital device and a computer 
peripheral so it applied (or required) the same FCC statement as on a 
computer and also applied (or required) an FCC ID be placed on the 
product. My view is this is not a peripheral and is a receiver so it 
needs the first (shorter) statement and does not need an FCC ID.

Which of us is right?

As always, sharing of your knowledge is much appreciated.
