[Elecraft] JARD Technical Standard Certification Number for K3orK3X

[Seiji Okumura]

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.
