And I thought the USRP's status as "test equipment" is just what
allowed them to be sold without type acceptance. This is similar to a
signal generator, which could transmit on a wide variety of
frequencies just by putting an antenna on the output.
Anyway, enough speculation; I don't wish to steer anyone wrong, I am
not a lawyer, and clearly I don't speak for Ettus Research.
Government imposed rules are often unintuitive, arbitrary and subject
to case-by-case interpretation, so I'll let Matt address the question
if he chooses.
