I doubt the Examiner is subject to FCC ID, as it has no power source other than picking up induced signals broadcast by the calculator (I believe the calculator is approved for use in the USA). I would imagine the Examiner actually detects and emits signals in a similar fashion to a crystal radio, so whatever FCC requirements a crystal radio has would seem to be correct for the Examiner. But then I'm just guessing.
I receieved an email from the Rangertell factory rep stating they received the Examiner I returned.
They gave me permission to repost their email message, so here is what they said:
"The returned Examiner's coil required readjusting. Whether this occurred during transit or not is impossible to tell.
It works fine now but we’ve sent another to save time. This doesn’t happen often but it does occasionally. In these cases we replace free of charge.
There were also issues with the trimmer cap making the first experiments inaccurate".
I expect the replacement Examiner to arrive any day now judging from my previous experience with shipping from Australia.
Best wishes,

Thanks for your reply. I assume there was no mention in the owners manual or instructions that the device was certified/verified/tested, by any agencies or by the manufactuerer in regards to being compliant to any standards. Understandable.
Part 15 is not specific as to how, or what drives the low-power transmitter. That would include a crystal driven transmitter, rubbing two sticks together or wishing really, really hard. A low power transmitter is just that. Unless, of course the low power transmitter doesn't actually transmit. The Part 15 would not apply
Good luck with the new unit.
