  A LPFM station is in fact a broadcast station requiring a FCC
  license therefor, with all the rules and obligations pertaining
  thereto.  It is not a "hobby" or "consumer" operation.

  Regarding what you have in mind, unless the non-licensed device
  is CERTIFIED for operation in compliance with FCC Rules Part
  15, you risk losing your ham license for unauthorized operation.
  I spent 30 years with the FCC tracking down and putting such
  unauthorized devices off the air.

  I'm sure that with a little effort you can find a certified
  device - they do exist for exactly what you want - but much of
  what you find on the 'net is not certified.

  It should be of interest to all licensed amateurs.
