Am I reading this right that the standard remote ID broadcast is specified as "something in an unlicensed band, everything else about it you figure it out"? Isn't the point of this to be interoperable with other receiver systems for things like BVLOS operation? Seems like a funny place to throw in a shoulder shrug.

So the final rule will probably name a specific standard, but it’s TBD for now.
