[Hackrf-dev] Fwd: HackRF for preliminary FCC home test?

[Sergey Ivanov]

Thank you Chuck!

I'll check this out. What do you mean by a radio stack?
For now my plan is to use pre-certified modules so that my board will be
certified as an unintentional radiator, which is thousands of $.
But I still need to prove that the board doesn't emit Electro Magnetic
Field above allowed.
