I could be wrong about this because I haven't taken the time to look it up
but ISTR that 47USC301 is the Act of '34 as amended etc. and that it
directs the FCC to make rules etc. If those rules EXEMPT someone from
need for a license for operating an RF device, for example a cell phone,
it would seem to me the Florida law would not apply to that operator.
If I'm wrong, there are millions of felonies committed every day in Florida
by persons using cell phones.
