Low power test gear is listed as a permitted form of radiation. While a
signal generator is permitted for use as a test instrument, it would not
be legal to use it for say a transmitter on a ham band that you are not
licened to use.
YOu could legally use it for a ham band transmitter if you followed all
the other part 95 rules.




Hi Ralph,
I don't mean to sound offensive, but do you know for a fact that low power
test gear is a permitted form of intentional radiation? I wonder what
constitutes 'low power'. Do you know where this is written so I can
research it myself?

Thanks,
Thomas
