Hi Peter - "... GPS receiver performance standards are a likely outcome of the test procedure." Standards would raise the bar. Are they enough? Or is there a need for enforcement, i.e., FCC jurisdiction? You may not wish to answer, and perhaps the matter is self-evident. On the surface, it appears that controlling emitters should be sufficient. The logic of self-interest is understood but seems unlikely to govern accidental, careless or malign operation. One would think a future constellation of frequency-agile devices, some in critical uses, would be insensitive to out-of-band emissions. Not arguing for or against. This goes to an older discussion about what happens when you engineer to the limits of performance, system complexity, resilience and degradation. Jim
