> specifically, part 15 of the FCC rules: "this device may not cause harmful interference".
I think you misunderstand what harmful interference means - it has a specific regulatory meaning - and the fact that it causes you grief with your other Part 15 devices doesn’t apply. If that were the case the FCC would be spending all their time just dealing with everyone’s shitty stereo equipment not working.
> but I wonder if I can spot some unexpected RF emissions.
I highly doubt it - this stuff was already certified. On the other hand it’s not surprising that devices physically near running in the same frequency band will have some undesired operation - this is why safety critical communications don’t operate in an unlicensed band. Spread spectrum isn’t completely magic (as an EE I’m still sometimes amazed any of this shit works at all) —- or maybe I should say it is magic but it still has to come to terms with physical realities.
