I really don't know how equipment fares against -461E vs. -461C. I do know that the "external" RE102 limit which is flat at 24 dBuV/m from 2 - 100 MHz is very difficult to meet, but on the other hand the low frequency end is greatly relaxed or waived so that may be a wash. The new requirements C

In general the two versions are very close where they overlap, but specific answers must be on a case-by-case basis. Comparing CE03 with CE102 is complex in terms of how the test item interacts with a LISN as opposed to a a feedthrough capacitor, but the limits are very close. For RE102, there a
