Peter, I have to confess that you have a very good point there. We are so used to having good legally backed warranties in the EU that we forget that they have to be paid for! We mistakenly assume that nothing will go wrong, although in the case of the K3 for example, its modular approach would simplify matters.
Part of the disparity in prices, it must be said though, is that the exchange rate with the Euro is not as favourable to us as it is with the USD. If we still had about €1.50 to £1 it would make all the difference! 73 Stephen G4SJP On 11/02/2011 19:42, "DL2FI, Peter" <qrpl...@dlqrpag.de> wrote: > >> >> From Elecraft, including USPS shipping and 20% VAT, at $1.60 to £1; >> £575. >> >> From QRP.DE, including shipping and German VAT, at €1.17 to £1; £680. >> >But thats only half the true. >There is another big difference: QRPproject warranty is two years and >shipment under warrany is included.
