I do not believe that it requires a license. The 900MHz band is an unlicensed band, and the specified output on these devices is 100mW. I bet your cordless phone is higher power than that. The receive sensitivity is -116dBm on the 900MHz model The website is www.maxstream.net --Brendan -- http://www.piclist.com hint: The list server can filter out subtopics (like ads or off topics) for you.
