I believe "unintentional radiator" marine electronics are exempted from some of the (Section 16?) regulations, similarly to
automotive electronics. I think the idea is that such equipment is considered a sub-system and it is the responsibility of the
system designer/installer to contain & exclude interference at the system level. In other words, marine and automotive electronics
are not considered consumer products, so the purchaser has to take more responsibility for selecting and installing them, than say a
clock radio. Of course, if the manufacturers don't provide noise radiation data, it can be impossible to properly design your
system except by trial & error.

Larry,

Is boat equipment exempt from the radiation requirements placed on other
consumer products.
