A local dealer has to add value to his service. And if a customer does
not want that particular service, he should not be forced to buy it.
I have always purchased directly from Elecraft and have never had the
slightest problem. On the contrary, they have always provided a
splendid service.

A few years back I bought a couple of KB9YIG's little SDR receiver kits (one
still in use as a panadapter for my K3..). Tony was charging $15 each
including shipping, and at a UK equivalent of ~£8.50 there was no VAT

Seems like it is a common issue with dealers.
Dealers in VK seem to spend an inordinate amount of time rubbishing each

In fact, none of the 'authorised' resellers have repair facilities

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

Dave,
I totally agree - there's some unexplainable magic to me that when being
converted from US to EU,
prices somehow keep their numerical values (while at the same time currency is
