I have already ordered my kit from the US and it will ship with other
goods, so this may be bit late for me.
However, I have dealt with Mode Components on a few occasions and can
thoroughly recommend them.

A couple of years ago, I chanced upon Mode Components, run by Chris,
G8CHW and have placed some orders as a result. He's always been
utterly dependable and I've been impressed by the careful way in
which his deliveries are packed and identified. Even more
impressive is the effort Chris has been prepared to put into
searching for and obtaining components made of "unobtanium".
Without his help, a couple of boat anchors that were scrap have had
new life soldered into them and are working well. He provides a
very "personal service" HI!
Over the last few years, UK and EU have benefited from the exchange
rate when purchasing Elecraft equipment, but our Pounds or Euros now
buys far less dollars. This made the K3AFMDKT, at $10 plus shipping
seem expensive, so I asked Chris if he could obtain the identical
choke that Elecraft supply. In typical fashion, Chris went digging
and came up with the exact goods.
Because of overheads involved in export, it is burdensome for
Elecraft to export the K3AFMDKT, so this alternative kit is being
offered to K3 owners in the UK and EU WITH Wayne's BLESSING.
See Mode Components website at http://www.modecomponents.co.uk and
order part number K3MODKIT#1.
I can answer most queries due to involvement in this small project,
contact me off list, or if you want to contact Chris, you can do so
by email to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
