No, for a product to fall within the radio categorie of the
R&TTE directive the signal need to be airborn.
Suitable warnings about the products use
may help avoid misunderstandings regarding applicability.
Tha phrase" can be transmitted to.... " in your mail
is an example of how an ambiguous operating manual
may create a problem regarding applicability of the R&TTE.
It should say " is meant to be transmitted.."
or " must be transmitted " . You probably understand.
A 5 Watt transmitter can also be used on normal antenna cable,
but is meant to be used with an antenna.....
Even equipment containing a transmitter and antenna
do not necessarily fall under the R&TTE
directive ! I FA am currently working on a radar system
meant to protrude the ground and detect piping and other
irregularities. Although substantial power is fed into the soil
the emission spectrum remains below EN 55022 limits.
As the equipment was not meant to transmit and communicate
by radio waves, the R&TTE was found not applicable.

Subject: R&TTE and video out
Hi all
I have an equipment which can convert audio and video (phono connector)
signal from a PC to a normal HF antenna signal which can be transmitted
though a normal antenna cable in the house to your radio and TV sets.
The voltage of the HF signal is the same as normal received from an
antenna.
Does this product fall under the R&TTE directive ?
According to my interpretation the definitions in art. 2 c) and d) say
that it has to be used for TX to be under this directive.
What do you think ?
Best regards,
Kim Boll Jensen
