I worry. It's in my nature. I'm worried about your first sentence. The point
I was trying to make is that I have no idea as to the extent of my legal
liability in operating( knowingly) an FCC A device at home. 
 
I have never had a problem with the Cube. I've never had a problem with lot's
of things. Just because it doesn't cause interference with TV sets, etc...
for you and me is no reason not to be concerned. 
 
What if, in the very unlikely event, the Cube did cause interference with some
device and that resulting in very serious damage? It's a bit like having
someone fix a light socket who isn't qualified as an electrician. They may
have done it successfully 1000 times. It's the one unsuccessful time I worry
about. If a fire can be traced back to that socket, your insurance company
could very well refuse to cover any damages.
