Ah, NOW I see your dilemma. For digital systems, a lower frequency clock avoids EMI regulations. For the other, is there any reason why the radio must be sold and qualified disassembled? One doesn't have to meet the Automotive Directive to teach mechanics how to rebuild an engine. In the past, teaching electronics in military schools, we would use an AM or FM reciever built on a sheet of plywood. I agree this is not what one should sell the general public for a kitchen radio, but it appears the bureacrats never considered that education involves more than looking at schematic diagrams! Still, one might get around their short-sighted blunder by building a radio set that, *when assembled in its cabinet*, does comply with the regulations and CAN be "placed on the market" but which, when opened up, may be spread out on a workbench for students to learn from. If connecting to an oscillator circuit with an oscilloscope violates the EMC directive, we may all be out of business.
