A long time ago,in a company far away, I tested a wireless keyfob gadget for Part 15. We had to add metal tape in the case to reduce the field strength to Part 15 levels, as we couldn't change the circuit.
Fast forward a number of years. Lo and behold, it's my old employer in the Daily Digest! With a noncompliant keyfob gadget! Can't say for sure, might not even be the same item, etc -- but I'd guess some clever engineer noticed the things worked better without copper tape, and had it removed. Probably got an incentive award! Time "arches" on; Hello XM!
