[Elecraft] JARD Technical Standard Certification Number for K3 orK3X

[Doug Turnbull]

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 break into
new markets.   I would prefer the Elecraft engineers worked on product
improvement rather than yet another type approval.

Jim,

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.
