Yes, unfortunately it is all too common for manufacturers to limit distribution of their products between countries. The usual purpose of this is to allow local distributors to make a higher profit with excessive markups. From reports I've received, that also seems to be the case with distribution of Fair-Rite products in the UK, and may also be true in EU. There are sometimes other reasons for such a limitation, like restrictions placed on business or EMC and safety inspections by various countries, or the difficulty of exchanging funds, and so on. 73, Jim K9YC ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
