PART 15_RADIO FREQUENCY DEVICES--Table of Contents
 
                     Subpart C_Intentional Radiators
 
Sec.  15.202  Certified operating frequency range.

    Client devices that operate in a master/client network may be 
certified if they have the capability of operating outside permissible 
part 15 frequency bands, provided they operate on only permissible part 
15 frequencies under the control of the master device with which they 
communicate. Master devices marketed within the United States must be 
limited to operation on permissible part 15 frequencies. Client devices 
that can also act as master devices must meet the requirements of a 
master device. For the purposes of this section, a master device is 
defined as a device operating in a mode in which it has the capability 
to transmit without receiving an enabling signal. In this mode it is 
able to select a channel and initiate a network by sending enabling 
signals to other devices. A network always has at least one device 
operating in master mode. A client device is defined as a device 
operating in a mode in which the transmissions of the device are under 
control of the master. A device in client mode is not able to initiate a 
network.
