[NLRS] low pass filters?

Fortunately, I've never had to do this myself, and it's something of a last
resort.  But another piece of language to keep near the door is the wording of
the FCC notice required on Part 15 devices, such as cordless phones.  If
you're lucky, it's stamped right into the plastic.  At the very least, it will
appear in the device's manual.  So if you have a model number, you can
probably find the manual via Google.  This will appear on any Part 15 device,
such as a receiver.  (It might also appear on your transceiver, because the
receiver is a. Part 15 device, but you don't need to tell anyone.)

You take a look at the device (or manual), and then commiserate with your poor
neighbor for having been duped into buying a device with fine print saying
that the darn thing isn't even guaranteed to work right:

"This device must accept any interference received, including interference
that may cause undesired operation."

In one case a few years ago, I had to send a letter to the police department
in my client's town pointing out this language, since the neighbors were livid
that they wouldn't be able to call 911 in an emergency.  I pointed out that
they really ought to read what's written on their phone, and that personal
responsibility dictates that if they need to call 911 in an emergency, then
they should probably buy themselves a phone that doesn't have a disclaimer
admitting that it's no good.
