Personal opinion: An RF signal generator on its own would probably not count as a transmitter. But add an RF amplifier and an antenna and use it outside a shielded enclosure and you should be applying for a licence. Question of my own: Which countries require a licence to operate a receiver? -- Regards, Phil Ford [email protected] tel +44 (0)1705 443255 fax +44 (0)1705 499315 Xyratex, Langstone Road, Havant, PO9 1SA, United Kingdom http://www.xyratex.com/
