been awhile since I've looked at the FCC regs, but they'd have
to persecute ;-) every CB-er who's over 5 watts and off-freq
plus if you're less than (I think) 100 mW you're probably
safe -- the microwave freqs they use are very short range
and fairly unregulated -- now it'd be a different story is
some over-zealous DA decided to file on you in federal court
(just don't be a political adversary  8^)
