Here in the UK, Waters and Stanton sold Elecraft products and provided a limited level of service. However, W&S are now owned by Moonraker who have no real service facilities (as far as I know), and neither are currently listed as distributors on the Elecraft web site.
Given the lack of a service manual for more recent products, the huge shipping charges to/from overseas, plus at least $250 for repair, it looks to me as if Elecraft are going to struggle with sales outside the USA on anything more complex than a simple kit. I am a long term Elecraft fan, having a K1, K2, KX3, K4D and KPA500. I was also an early K3 adopter, which was sold when I bought the K4D. I like my K4D and it is QRV most days, but I cannot recommend that anyone in the UK buys one, unless they are prepared to pay out a considerable amount should it develop a fault, either in, or out, of warranty. 73 Dave G4AON ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
