To me the argument that "we" have to buy our Japanese rigs from an importer
too, isn't a very good one.
Everyone in the world has to buy there Japanese rigs from a importer so
everybody has to pay more.
But with Elecraft equipment, only the Japanese have buy there stuff from a
importer whilst the r

Yaesu, Kenwo

A couple of thoughts:
1) "Distributor jacking up the price" . . .
Heathkit did the same thing forty years ago. You had your choice of
buying direct from the factory at one price (lower), or with the
convenience of buying from a local (more or less) distributor at another
price (higher). Ther
That is just the same as those here in the states buying or importing
a "gray market" camera or other piece of electronics that the US dealers
or distributors will not support.
Should I be mad at Canon or Nikon?I don't think so.So the JA's
don't like it when the shoe is on the other foot.

Sounds like Tokyo Hy-Power in reverse. I now get to pay dealer markup and

I also had a Japanese ham (in Japan) tell me the same story.

Was talking with a JA operator yesterday who said that Elecraft is getting a
very bad name in that country - not for their product, but because of a
business decision to have everything go through an exclusive dealer for both
