[EE] RF Transceiver w/ antenna for $10

Sounds too good to be true.. what's the catch?

http://circuitspecialists.com/search.itml?icQuery=cc1100b

Does "license free" mean "doesn't need FCC certification"?

Any products that use it will require FCC certification. But the users
will not require licenses.

Cheerful regards,

It means it's operating in the ISM bands. AFAIK, if you build it into a
product you need an FCC mark/certification.

Microchip has similar products, I think:

Yes. I have recently gotten some of the complete modules in and they  
look very nice. They are already FCC certified, so if you build  
something with them, I believe only need to go through the much  
cheaper device tests, rather than the intentional radiator tests.

Now I'm trying to flog up some SPI libraries to use with my Arduino  
boards.

I could not resist either so I bought a pair of them.  Haven't had time 
to do anything with them yet...
