Default Indoor FM boost with no cables?

That does not mean it's not operating illegally. Even with such a tag,
it can be emitting a signal illegally.

ALL potential sources of RF have limits on their emissions. Exceed
those limits and they are not operating legally. It may be due to
shoddy workmanship or a problem with the device itself.


Could be so, but like weed-smoking, popular round here, though I haven't done
it myself for at least twenty years and do not like it, is a live-and-let-
live thing, not a call-the-police thing. Also, if I start shouting about a
small bit of interference, people might start shouting about not liking my
solar panels outside the house looking (to their eyes) unacceptably ugly,
etc...

Also, the cost of the expert witness to prove it in court is a cost so
extreme in proportion to the problem that I won't consider it viable.

I suspect it's well within limits actually, no worse than half the small
collection of stuff I have like mice and keyboards emit. It's just what was
left after I'd turned off all I could control, in a basement that very little
external RF penetrates into anyway. Hence me steering the discussion back to
the notion of a gentle boost for the immediate locality.
