David,
Be certain to specify FCC Part 15 Class B limits. Those are the limits
applicable to home and office environments.
After that, it will then be up to you to determine if Part 15, Class B limits
are, in fact, adequate for your application. Keep in mind that if your
antennas are fairly close to the shack or house (less than 50 feet away), you
could still have problems with RFI, especially in the HF range. You probably
won't know until you try it.
