Thanks again Don. Yes I would not have the brass neck to expect the UK dealer to help if I had a problem after bypassing them on the purchase.
It is unlikely I will buy anything other than a kit from the USA. So no customs duty, though sometimes the customs get that wrong and you need to appeal. There was a letter about that in Radcom this very month. Either that or a I get a used unit from someone in the UK. That is my preferred option and I have had one lead so far from a fairly local ham. I found some interesting info on the K3 transmit phase noise on various bands today. 14 MHz looks like one of the best bands to use as the IF provided I can transmit up to about 14.4 MHz. http://www.ok2kkw.com/next/staronove_vyzvy.htm and http://www.ok2kkw.com/xyz/om3w/transvertor_om3w_en.htm 73 David Anderson GM4JJJ > On 23 Feb 2016, at 00:16, Don Wilhelm <w3...@embarqmail.com> wrote: > > David, > > Ordering direct from Elecraft, my understanding it that if you order the > K3S-F you will endure both customs fees and VAT. ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
