That, and the fact that if you believe the author's original description of ROS that it uses spread spectrum, then it's not legal in the US on bands lower than 220. What's frustrating about the FCC rule is that ROS appears to use a relatively narrow band form of frequency hopping spread spectrum, so while the FCC prohibition of FHSS below 220 might be defensible for the original wider bandwidth SS, it becomes much harder to defend in the case of ROS. In fact, I don't remember reading any posts on any email lists that believe the current rule (with a blanket prohibition of all forms of SS) makes sense. But, right now at least, that's the rule in the US.
