When licensing RF spectrum so far as I know the basic context is the same.
You are supposed to confine your RF emissions to the operating bands as licensed or permitted (within reason). Everything within that permitted range is in-band. Everything outside of that permitted range is out-of-band.
So it's really not all that far off. It's just that the RF spectrum is regulated by a licensing authority (FCC).
There's no CAN police...and if there were...I suspect they'd have issued a lot of fines by now.
In any event I intend to take my spectrum analyzers and near field kit to this near finished prototype to insure that we are in fact not producing a handy dandy Class D/E RF amplifier. I'm not planning on FCC certifying the unit but if it's producing junk we'll shield it appropriately.
