Many thanks to thos who have responded, both private & public. This has been most helpful. Typically for FCC, I'm seeing -- name change, (clones the original), followed by --Class 2 permissive change: to co-locate devices [more testing] --Add a different antenna with same gain, different type/manufacturer [more testing]. Comments regarding Bluetooth performance testing are probably the deal breaker...

Good Day, Aside from regulatory, be advised I believe the use of the Bluetooth logo is a trademark that is granted by a rigorous Bluetooth qualification program at a Bluetooth qualification lab. Bluetooth qualification, in addition to regulatory certification, is very expensive. Bluetooth qualification is about performance and functionality, whereas regulatory is mostly not about performance.
