You should have no problem bringing it into Canada. Taking it back into the US is up to US Customs! :-) I don't know how the US handles this; in Camada, I can take items to Canada Customs and they will give me a "green card" listing the items and their serial numbers. When I return to Canada, that is my proof that I did not buy the item on my trip to the US, so I won't get charged taxes at the border. BTW, you can operate in Canada. As an Extra class, you will have full privileges in Canada. Just sign as W1CG/VE3 (for Ontario), which you would pronounce on voice as "W1CG mobile VE3", or "W1CG portable VE3" if you set the rig up out of the car. -- 73, Brian VE7NGR _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
