Ken- I have not only one, but two amplifiers that start at 10 kHz: an AR 25A100 (25 watts) and an AR 150A100A (150 watts). I only need 15 Vrms (4.5 watts) into a 50 ohm load from the 50 source impedance of the amplifier, so what is the problem? Well, the standard also requires the that source

Hello, Please note that not all of these wireless chargers would be Part 15 (47CFR15, as stated). Some might be Part 18, depending on the operation. I think you'd need to look at the operation of the charger and see if any form of 'handshaking' is taking place; even if it's just a recognition
