    I'm licensed, but "Part 15" and "Part 97" means nothing to me as I'm not
    in the USA. I would suspect that whoever posted that comment also isn't
    in the USA but elsewhere in the world (memory says Australia) and thus
    is subject to the vagarities of his or her national radio regulatory
    authority.

    For reference, here in the UK, it's the Radiocommunications Agency and
    "Document BR68" that defines what licensed radio amateurs can and cannot
    do, and the said document doesn't come anywhere near having 97 parts
    (the current one has 12 parts).

    Best wishes from Riley.
