It is not necessary to take a new certification number at the time of
renewal of all the firmware in Japan.
The certification number did not change even at the time of firmware renewal
of FTDX-9000D I have .
When a technical change is added , and when the quality and mode of an
electric wave change by renewal of firmware, the maker needs to take new
certification.

K3orK3X
But Elecraft doesn't have to get a new type approval from the FCC every
time they change the firmware. The post I quoted (included below)
indicates that the Japanese manufacturers need to get approval from JARD
whenever they want to change the firmware. Having the expense of jumping
thru a bureaucratic hoop would certainly act as a disincentive.

This situation might contribute to the reasons we don't get continuous
product improvement on our
Japanese radios the way we do from Elecraft.

We know the firmware of KX-3 is currently
revised even now.
JARD can never accept such a moving spec.
