[Elecraft] Fwd: KX3 kit: No CE badge for self-built KX3s?

[David Cutter]

I'm being picky, but strictly speaking kits are not required to have a CE 
mark which has EMC as a part of it requirement, not the other way around. 
However, stating the obvious, that doesn't absolve a user of from creating 
EMC issues with other equipment outside his premises.

Hello John,

thanks for this hint!

You are right: Article 2 paragraph 2 states this out. So my self-built
KX3 is legal to use since it is handled like any other homebrew gear...

73!
