Hello Jean Marc,

I am not aware of any legislation regarding SDR, applicable to FCC Part 
97 (Amateur Radio), in the USA. It doesn't matter if your transmitter is 
Software or Hardware modulated. (and, when we get right down to it, 
software is just a different way to wire hardware components together .. 
but I digress)

It is the effective emission that matters. If the transmitted signal has 
the appropriate bandwidth and meets the spurious emission limits, then 
there is no problem.
