Speaking of radar detectors and emissions from them, this just showed
up!

> In a Notice of Proposed Rule Making (NPRM) released on October 15th,
the
> Commission has announced its plans to modify certain regulations
> contained in Parts 2, 15 and 18 of its rules.  Here's a quick overview:
>
> First, the FCC has proposed requiring radar detectors to be subject to
> emission limits.  The Commission has received reports that emissions
> from radar detectors are interfering with the operation of very small
> aperture satellite terminals (VSATs) used to link retail establishments
> with remote computers for verifying credit card transactions.  Radar
> detectors typically operate in frequencies well above 960 MHz and are,
> therefore, exempt from current Part 15 emissions limits.  However, the
> new use of swept frequency oscillators by manufacturers of radar
> detectors has reportedly led to the increasing reports of interference
> with VSATs.
>
> Secondly, the FCC has proposed elimination of the prohibition against
> data transmission by Part 15 remote control devices. Current
regulations
> place strict limits on the operation of remote control devices, and
> prohibit the transmission of data except for recognition
> codes to identify specific transmitters in a system.  A number of
> manufacturers have expressed interest in developing devices that
> transmit identification codes, supplemented with the transmission of
> some additional minimal data.
>
> The FCC has also proposed harmonization of rules covering radio
> frequency identification systems.  In response to a petition from a
> standards committee operating under the auspices of the National
Council
> for Information Technology, the Commission is seeking comments on
> whether it should harmonize its own emissions limits for RFID devices
> with the slightly less restrictive emissions limits in place in the
> European Union and Australia.
>
> A number of additional changes to the Commission's rules have also been
> proposed in this NPRM.  Comments on all of the proposed changes are due
> to the Commission 75 days from their publication in the Federal
Register
> (approximately the end of December).
