Frankly I disagree with flat out add this to the US reg domain but we would just add a "97" reg domain for licensed users. This also introduces a new issue in crda of setting not only power limits but power limits based on modulation. It is permitted to use DSSS up to 100 watts, however, OFDM is permitted up to 1500 watts. In all honesty I am not really sure this is a good time to start adding this stuff but since thinking about it is exposing flaws in crda I figured I would at least mention it. Thanks, Rick Farina
