Having JARD Technical Standard Certification Number is not mandatory for ham radio transmitters. The transmitter without JARD Technical Standard Certification Number can get individually certified for the licensed amateur who has applied the certification to add the transmitter into his approved gears.
The most obvious issue for K3 to get JARD Technical Standard Certification Number is 60m transmission capability. K3 having 60m transmission capability will not get the number. Same is for KX3. I got a K3/100 last December and am composing documents to apply the certification with 60m transmission capability disabled in firmware level. 73 de JH3SIF, Keith On 2014/01/08, at 13:14, Walter Underwood <[email protected]> wrote: > One Japanese amateur had the opinion that firmware upgrades would require > recertification.
