[Elecraft] Fwd: Re: JARD Technical Standard Certification Number for K3 orK3X

["Jörg Hochheimer, DL6ZBN"]

Re-send of my previous message... a nice OM informed me that the 
reflector doesn't accept HTML messages, so I'm trying it again with 
plain text (hopefully).

Sorry for any inconveniences!

Well said, Doug.

Just for curiosity reasons: would you need a type certification if you 
imported the KX3 (or any other radio) as a kit? Do the authorities make 
any difference on that? So maybe that would be a chance to 
circumnavigate that cliff if you say you built the radio by yourself...
