I didn't operate much over the weekend, but when I did, it was to try for a
DX station I need for band/mode (S3 signal, 4.51 beta).
I gotta tell ya, when a LOUD (S9+) station came in 150 Hz below what I was
wanting to hear, it was only noticeable on the P3. I never heard it and it

I totally agree - there's some unexplainable magic to me that when being

prices somehow keep their numerical values (while at the same time currency is
changed). This is
valid for whole EU, not just UK.

eye on the prices from W&S. But think about it this way, Elecraft starting
to have regional distributors around the world is enabling them to grow

Robby,
Another approach: at P49Y, I started with THR=15, SLP=0, but got blasted
by too many strong signals. Turning down the THR to 12 helped. I generally
did ride the RF gain control, but that helps in the pileups.

You can still buy direct worldwide from Elecraft as you have done
before. No change in that area.
Like our distributors in Germany, Italy and Japan, you can buy direct
from Elecraft or from them as you desire.

Geoff,
Even if W&S did know that someone in the UK was dealing with Elecraft
directly, I very much doubt that W&S could or would want to do anything to
prevent that person from doing so.
My understanding of "exclusive" in this context, is that W&S have been

*David,
Seems like it is a common issue with dealers.
Dealers in VK seem to spend an inordinate amount of time rubbishing each
other and very little with regard to customer service.
In fact, none of the 'authorised' resellers have repair facilities
in-house. You get told to send it to the manufa

I too would certainly prefer to deal direct with Elecraft in the US.
As a long time customer I have found their service and attention to
detail is second to none.

It's not necessarily excellent news for the UK. I for one would prefer to
continue dealing with Elecraft rather than a general amateur radio reseller
who is unlikely to be able to provide the high standard of technical and
