Help clarify my (mis)understanding of Part 15:

1.  If a manufacturer declares that it is approved by the FCC as a device
under Part 15, does that not mean that it is approved for operation without
a licences (so long as it doesn't cause interference)?

2.  Within Part 15, can only those intentional radiators that are
specifically discussed in Part 15 be approved?  Part 15 specifically
provides information for certain types of equipment.  Does that exclude all
other types of equipment and purposes?  For instance, it specifically talks
about Cordless Telephones, so clearly they can be licensed as a Part 15
device.  However, I see no mention of a baby monitor, and those are sold as
a devise not requiring licensing.

3.  Is there language somewhere that specifically excludes a wireless
microphone as being able to operate without a license?

4.  Are there any wireless microphones on the market that are claiming Part
15 acceptance?
