The old USPS book rate is now called Media Rate. The maximum
weight is 70 lbs.

 Because I had been considering a new Owner's Manual for some
time,
 I chose to bundle that with a Handbook.  The combined shipping
 wasn't a lot more than the Manual alone, which is obviously
 available only from Elecraft.

Re: [Elecraft] Special offer

2009-11-25 Thread Dyarnes
Hi All,

It's a really good deal, particularly when you see that ARRL is selling them 
for $20 more, and that is supposedly $10 off the regular price.  I already 
ordered (and received) one from Bill Kelsey (Kanga US).  It cost a bit more, 
but the shipping was less, so around the same price--and I got the hardbound 
version at that price.

As soon as I saw the Elecraft offer, I passed in on to a friend (who will 
soon be a K3 owner).  He had seen my copy, and wanted one.  I was a little 
disappointed when he told me what the postage was, but maybe Bill Kelsey ate 
the processing part.

Anyway, it's a really good buy, and the 2010 Handbook is loaded with good 
stuff.  I don't know what's going on with all the deals this year from 
ARRL on this new version, but clearly this is the year to buy a new edition 
if you haven't updated recently.  Even Dayton prices on new editions haven't 
been this good!  Don't forget that you also get a CD with the entire book 
contained therein, so you can also have the whole thing at your fingertips 
when you travel, etc.

 Just ordered a handbook. Couldn't beat the price! Make great presents. Got 
 one last yr for my son in law when he passed his extra. Not sure if I'll 
 keep this one or make it a gift.

The 2010 edition is a really major revision with a number of the
chapters re-written from scratch.  I wrote the chapters on
Modulation (8) and DSP and Software Radio Design (15) and
contributed a new section on VHF/UHF mobile propagation in the
Propagation chapter (19).

If you haven't bought a new edition of the Handbook in awhile this would
be a good time to upgrade.  (No, I don't get paid per copy. :=)

If you select USPO Book Rate for shipping the total SH is $7.20...making
the grand total $37.15.

The 999 is an alert to point out you have exceeded the allowable weight 
for book rate. (It also shows up if you forget to pick a shipping method.)

Email sa...@elecraft.com and they will give you the actual shipping cost.
