What does 'locked down' mean? That it requires signed drivers? Or just placing limits on frequencies & signal power. How does this affect SDR hardware?

- awinter-py 11y agoThe information from last year here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9959088 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9959088 quotes the FCC saying: Manufacturers must implement security features ... so that third parties are not able to reprogram the device to operate outside the parameters for which the device was certified. Goes on to talk about signing but uses 'may' not 'must'.
- lolidaisuki 11y agoMight make SDR illegal.
