Well I guess that FCC sticker I had to remove on the bottom of my receiver doesn't mean anything.

The spektrum system is NOT illegal in any way. Also, our standard 27MHz and 75MHz X-tal systems are NOT illegal.
(Note: If you use a 60MHz system from Japan, it IS illegal).
The FCC allocates frequency bands per the following chart.

I would not be too concerned with a fed showing up at your door. 2.4 gig is a band used by so many applications such as cordless phones, wireless routers, etc. Spektrums have to have some sort of license to operate in this range without interference.

And I like celebrity boobies too. Darn you FCC...
Anyways. It looks like GlennCauley's logic is on the button. I doubt Spektrum would release a product that wasn't liscensed by the FCC. That would be suicide.

Funny,
I posted this earlier in response on the regular Spektrum thread.
"So what....
You a lawyer? I'm sure there are certain definitions regarding the interpretation of the FCC statments in regards to the Spektrum system. For instance, the RF transmitter is only one component of the transmitter module. There are no instructions on the installation or removal of the RF transmitter to/from the transmitter module. So, using that logic, the Spektrum complies with the FCC rules because the RF transmitter is only one component of the module, and it is housed in the "appliance" manufactured by them..
I would think that they are aware of the installation and use of the modules. Oh, and if you have a M8, or another FM system, you should know its against FCC rules to CHANGE the CRYSTALS in the transmitter. So, I guess we have ALL been breaking that rule too.
Come and get me FCC. Just don't take my spektrum!
FCC has bigger fish to fry anyway- Like Howard Stern.
Anyway, I like the part about the RF exposure. Maybe I can put a hot dog on my transmitter antenna, and by the end of the race it will be nice and toasty!!!! "

This thread is completely useless, what are you worried about, going to jail for messing around with R/C equipment? 
Also, once you purchased the mattress, you're actually supposed to remove the tag. The do not remove part is so stores can't resell used mattresses as ne
