Can Part 15 FM really be legal?

If you contact that FCC Field Office, you can find out if William Walker was telling the truth about them no longer having the report on the incident. Or maybe you're afraid that they'll find it after a search, so you won't ask them. -- Jason

It isn't of high importance whether these reported events happened, or not.What is of high importance are the posted conclusions that some people have drawn from this, that field strength meters cannot accurately measure legal Part 15 fields, and distinguish them from radio noise. This may give some Part 15 operators the idea that it doesn't matter how much power they use, because "Part 15" fields are too low to measure.Such conclusions are provably false, and Part 15 operators may want to know that reality.

You don't seem to grasp that, even if "the Walker incident" was 100% true, that doesn't categorically mean that Part 15 fields are too low to measure, as you have posted. It would just mean that whoever attempted that measurement wasn't properly equipped and/or didn't have the proper skills to make the measurement. However that doesn't sound too likely for an FCC agent.You've stated your case, and I've stated mine. Now readers can investigate both positions on their own, if they want to, and judge for themselves.
