And yet I can buy an sdr 400mhz-6ghz no problem?
sigh, whatever, things are never fair.
I will say the thing that pisses me off about thinkpads is their use of a whitelist to limit radios. their justification for this was the same. "it's certified as a radio antenna pair, the fcc will not let us let you install whatever radio you want" which is bullshit.
- wildzzz 4y agoThe price of an SDR is usually much more than a basic WiFi card so that's kind of the justification for why an SDR doesn't require an FCC license since it's for experimental purposes and that you probably have a good reason to be using one. If you use one outside what you are licensed to do so, then expect the FCC to come down on you. The FCC license for consumer goods is a way for a manufacter to say that the product conforms to the applicable rules so that the FCC doesn't have to worry about every end-user fucking around with the spectrum.
