All Part 15 devices are required to do the same thing, from clock
radios to toasters. But try to explain that to your drunken neighbor

of your quoting FCC regulations at him. Also look at the couple of cases
that are currently up for enforcement action where the power
companies have done NOTHING to help the ham that is suffering
the interference.
