[RFI] Fw: Question: Conducted vs. Radiated Emissions

[D C _Mac_ Macdonald <k2gkk@hotmail.com>]

My brother lives near Albuquerque and his solar install WILL meter back to the 
grid.

Few individual home solar installations meter back onto the power grid.
They are typically an isolated system serving only the home on which they
are installed.  Therefore, they never touch the grid and are not subject to
the conducted emission regulation FCC has imposed on other apparatus.
