I've been through the process a couple of times with things that are supposed to radiate, and it was a frustrating and expensive process that I'm glad my employer paid for.

Its super annoying, and sets you up for an extra couple thousand dollar NRE per product, mandatory minimum cost to be 100% compliant. That cost is the other side of why I'm hesitant. I've got access to tens of thousands of dollars of test equipment at my employer; I don't really have those resources in my basement.

Its a shame that there doesn't appear to be much real testing to see if a device is operating on bluetooth/wifi responsibly, because it is possible to be completely compliant with relevant FCC standards, but then have such a shoddy bluetooth implementation that its still disruptive to everything around.
