I think that every radio I own has a part 15 disclaimer in it including my HF
radios. I think anything with a microprocessor is considered a part 15 device.
After all, to have a micro-p, you have to have a clock. That clock is a
frequency generator which generally outputs a square wave signal. A square
wave signal in time domain ends up being a rather broadband signal in frequency
domain.
