I don't think that's the right interpretation. There is a notion of unlicensed radiofrequency usage, typically for short-range communications, and many countries have regulations about this. However, a lot of them are different and in particular the frequencies that are allowed are different. My understanding is that US and Canadian rules are very similar. In the US this goes by the name "Part 15" (from 47 CFR 15), and you will find hobbyist parts that operate on 915 MHz here but in Europe are supposed to be operated on 868 MHz. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISM_band https://www.adafruit.com/product/3070 WiFi has similar issues, with different channels in different countries. I really don't know the details of WF, but if they say they're only selling it in US/CAN because of "frequencies", that's a huge clue that the device transmits on frequencies that are not necessarily authorized in other countries. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.
