Sirius and FCC Compliance, What Has Been Said Publicly

Here's the essence of what David Frear said at the Sanford Bernstein Conference on May 31, 2006 (Link):

Responding to a question regarding emissions, David Frear said:

A couple of our manufacturers got letters from the FCC over the course of the last several weeks asking for their test data on the FM modulaters products and emission characteristics of those products;

Our radio manufacturing partners provided test data to our engineers and FCC engineers; it turned out that some of them tested outside of the band of allowable emissions;

2-3 weeks ago, we went into the plants, and made the appropriate changes in production;

Now, all (units) rolling off the line are fully compliant with FCC standards
