Over the last few years, the UK and EU have benefited from the exchange rate
when purchasing Elecraft equipment, but our Pounds or Euros now buy far less
Dollars. This makes the purchasing of small components for K3 mods from
Elecraft somewhat expensive. Also, because of export overheads, it is
burdensome for Elecraft to ship small orders overseas, so with Wayne's
blessing, a UK business is offering to supply some items for K3 owners in the
EU at very advantageous prices.
For example, a small component kit including the exact items for the K3AFMDKT,
which also includes parts for Larry Phipps' suggested IF output to panadapter
mod. (plus a couple of spare SMTs), is available posted to UK addresses for
£3.50 or posted to EU addresses for £4.00. The kit designation is K3MODKIT#1
and a number of K3 owners in both the UK and EU have availed themselves of it
already.
Other components e.g. for the Synth. ALC mod or the AF output mod are available
individually on Mode Components' website, in SMT or leaded versions, so can be
added to the order for a few pennies. Parts not appearing in the component
listing can be obtained and added to the list in a day or two.
See Mode Components website at http://www.modecomponents.co.uk
Chris, who owns Mode Components, maintains a considerable library of spec.
sheets for active devices and supplies copies with purchases as a matter of
course, if he has them. If you don't see what you want, drop Chris an email to
sa...@modecomponents.co.uk. You may find yourself pleasantly surprised,
especially if the parts are made from "Unobtainium" HI! Components are always
carefully and appropriately bagged before shipping. His turnround is fast and
P&P charges are very fair.
A Happy 2009, everyone & 73 Dave L G3TJP
