Correct description but wrong number, Steward. That must have been in the days when they changed the number. In those days I checked the new number for elecraft, since that day the use the new number. The second problem: USPS does not insure > 500 USD, so if you order a complete K2, elecraft divide this into 2 shipments now. You have to pay twice the shipping cost and 17,5% VAT on both, price of the K2 plus shipment cost. QRPproject is receiving big elecraft packages every second week, believe me, I know how expensive this shipment and VAT stuff is. 73 de Peter, DL2FI _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
