Hi John Section 15.209 has general requirements for radiated emissions for intentional radiators (transmitters). At these frequencies you would be allowed 200 uV/m at 3m, not much but you aren't allowed higher power until you get to 902-928 MHz band. best regards Tom On Mar 12, 2013, at

Amen to that. In 1981 FCC lab set up a demo room. We had TVs and radios tuned into local stations. The emissions from one of those (not yet regulated) luggable inventory recorders used in convenience stores and the like would completely wipe out both picture and sound at Ch 5. The
