Here in Japan, it is different story. All transmitters must be certified by either JARD Technical Standard Certification Number or set-by-set assessment with either document or transmitter itself. Japanese government applies the same principles for commercial stations to amateur stations with as much as flexibility within the principle. One such principle is that transmitter must be certified. So, whatever transmitter you have built or bought need to get certified before using for transmission 73 de JH3SIF, Keith On 2014/01/08, at 13:49, "Lynn W.
