red wolf,
Any manufacturer who can't come up with $10k to certify that their product is compliant with the law is not a manufacturer, they are a hobbiest. BFL has 10k, but I suspect I'll get certified before them because I am a law abiding citizen of the USA. (BFL is suspected of being a criminal organization).
Basically the FCC is there to stop dodgy, crap quality equipment like cordless phones that splatter interference across the band in the wrong frequencies and GPS disruptors/jammers. Things that affect the airwaves.
And so they MUST be alerted to ALL mining hardware. When my design is complete I'll be submitting it for review and anyone who does not is a criminal; read BFL.
Hope you've got a spare 10k+ available for the testing, it needs to be done in a proper lab with some very expensive gear
You've missed part of what I pasted above. Please check the part in bold below:
If someone purchases a non-compliant digital device, uses it,
causes interference to authorized radio communications, and is the subject of an FCC interference investigation, the user will be told to stop operating the device until the interference problem is corrected.
Those kind of penalties would apply if it caused interference to authorised radio communications. Note also it says FCC interference investigation, rather than just investigation.
