K3 CE - needs "e" marking too for mobile use

Yes, I am fairly certain that is the case.  For a flavour of the
legislation, see:

Phew...

This is interesting:

"Which items do not need to be e-marked?

[snip]

    * Equipment installed in their own vehicle by persons who are able
to demonstrate competence (for example radio amateurs). However,
equipment designed by a commercial producer for use by radio amateurs
is not exempt."

So I could install my home built radio in my car, and presumably my
built-from-a-kit K2 or 3, but if you buy it ready made it needs to be
marked.

Heck, would our lives really be worse if we didn't have people whose
jobs it is to come up with this stuff?
