You're right! Little of this stuff gets tested and the "self certifications" are a joke. Here is one of many articles about XM and Sirius converters that put their signals on 88.1-88.9 MHz so you can pick it up on your car radio. Three quarters of the units tested violated FCC Part 15 regulations with one of the units testing at over 200 times the legal signal level!
Well, we don't have anywhere enough inspectors to test the food and medicine coming in from foreign countries; why would we expect the FCC to have enough staff to inspect all the electronics coming into this country???
