Default Trane furnace radio/TV interference

Yes, the FCC not only has cognizance, but quite legitimately does not want
to see products throwing a lot of EMI out which cause you and perhaps your
neighbors to have reception issues. If I were at Trane handling Customer
Service and was threatened with FCC action, I would react.

Anything that generates RF inside the USA is regulated by the FCC. If your
cat's butt emits RF in the USA it's regulated by the FCC.
