Instead, the D4 runs in the license-free ISM band between 902 and 928 MHz. Unlike the UHF band, this slice of spectrum is only 26 MHz wide (as opposed to over 230 MHz for UHF). The FCC considers the ISM band to be license free, but still puts restrictions in place on how much power transmitters can have…
