Any intentional transmitter has to be FCC certified for sale in the USA, so yes, a bluetooth device of any sort has to have an FCC certification. In fact, most electronic devices must be FCC certified save for a small area of respite where the device is battery powered, not an intentional radiator, and doesn't generate or use any clocks or signals above a certain frequency. There are fines for those that do not comply with FCC regulations, but I do not know the extent (manufacturer, distributor, retailer, user...), the amount of the fine, the mechanisms used to find and prosecute offenders, etc. It's too bad we can't self-certify such devices like CE allows one to do. -Adam On 8/14/07, Vitaliy wrote: > Do BT to USB dongles have to come with an FCC ID?
