And why do they not have such certification?
Probably I think that this is because Japanese importer and Elecraft do not
apply to JARD for the examination with a certificate of K3.

I assume it requires a business decision. There may not be sufficient
enough customer base in Japan to warrant the cost of Elecraft getting the
certification for the K3 and KX3.

Friends,
These approvals: CE, UL, FCC and JARD all cost money to obtain. There
is some redundancy between them and type approvals can be used as barriers
to free trade. Standards are needed but when each nation has its own then
it is expensive and time consuming for a small manufacturer to

Hi All -
On the KAT500 - what antenna port is operational when the unit is powered
off? Is it the last one selected prior to power off, or does it operate like
the LDG AT-600 where it always reverts to a specific antenna port (in that
model, ANT2) at power off?
Jim / W6JHB
ANT1, ATU bypassed when power is removed.

Hi Fred
Reading the L and C ATU Values
1. Select LC SEt in the CONFIG menu.
2. Tap MENU to exit.
3. Tap ATU TUNE; VFO A shows the capacitance (CA indicates the capacitance
on the antenna side, Ct on the transmitter side). VFO B shows the inductance.
4. Tap MENU to exit.

Not sure I follow that logic. But they can certify an FT1000MP, which

Sure. As long as you do not overwrite them with macros. ;-)
Yes, you can then assign M1-M4 to CW/voice messages again but then your
macros are gone again.
Doesn't solve the original problem. It's either or. But of course you
can mix them, i.e. M1+M2 for macros and M3+M4 for CW/voice

Jim,
I suspect the issue is that Elecraft simply has not pursued getting the

At any rate, there is a procedure for an individual to get a temporary
