Unless my information is dated, any device using a signal in excess of
10KHz is subject to FCC part 15 rules.  That minimum may have been
raised, but 8MHz is definitely there.  Although there is not much
question that PIC devices fall into FCC rules , it never ceases to amaze
me that some companies don't bother testing and conforming.  The key is
that the FCC does not launch on you unless someone complains.  Surely
some fat old gezer in a dirty Tshirt that cannot get good TV reception is
not a problem anymore, with the advent of cable TV, but you would think
that any competitor would turn in a companies' non-tested product right
away.  Go figure.
