Yes it is, It has to compley with part 15 of the FCC rules. But it also says that the device has to accept interference ueven if it causes undesirable operation.

Thanks.

Just have to deal with the proliferation of Plasma TVs and BPL enabled entertainment systems! Fortunately these are localised and can be address on a case by case basis.

That's exactly what the regulators here are doing with those damn 'power line adapters, or PLTs used by BT for BTVision, and sold over the counter in PC stores. Instead of banning them outright, which is what should be happening by law since they don't and can't comply with EMC laws, they deal with complaints on a 'case by case' basis, thereby creating a perpetual loop of complaint/eventual removal/back to start when new one arrives. Bloody ridiculous, and no help to people unaware of the source

i can actually pick this up by connecting a crystal earphone between a copper grounding rod stuck into the ground and then holding the earphone in the air.
i would try it on shortwave but my radio hasn't worked in about fifty years!

Can you not have some fun with it run a script and unlock the encryption.. Steal it maybe.. Surely you can reverse engineer it as you have the signal.. I'd like to know more about it..
