- fnordfnordfnord 11y ago>SDR kits are usually rated as professional and test equipment The cheap ones aren't even that. They're repurposed/upcycled television DTV receivers.
- kuschku 11y agoOften by people manually modifying ones they bought themselves. And, interestingly, many satellite receivers allow users to just enter a frequency in the supported range and they will happily load and display the data on that frequency.
- csirac2 11y agoFWIW I haven't seen anything in the new rules (admittedly I have focused on SDR and U-NII regs) which pretends to cover anything but intentional radiators (i.e. transmitters).
- csirac2 11y agoI think they're not rated as anything. They simply have no manufacturer-supplied licensing/approvals whatsoever. So it is up to the user to gain an appropriate license and operate them to the conditions stipulated by that license.
