Re: [Elecraft] Feeler: TS-590S trade for K3/100

Don't need the 590, but I am going to be selling mine when I can get to the barn to get the boxes. It is fairly simple. Will come with a P3 and the add-ons for 2 antennas and for using VGA. Kpod (VFO) and Genovation also. On a day when I feel good and get a weather break I'll get the boxes and

Re: [Elecraft] Duty on warranty repairs

I was not charged any duties or taxes because it was an RMA and clearly marked as such. I paid for insurance though to guard against any delivery "issues". regards, Brian VE3IBW On Wed, Jan 30, 2019 at 4:29 PM Mike Weir wrote: > Good afternoon, has any Canadian Elecrafters sent a rig to

Re: [Elecraft] Duty on warranty repairs

Mike, I am not in Canada, but I have done warranty repairs here in the US for Canadian customers in the past. As far as I know, no duty or HST was charged to the recipient. The only time I got a report of charges was when a Canadian ham bought a K2 from a ham in the US, and that seller

Re: [Elecraft] Best Mac to use with KX3

Kiichiro-san, John is correct. Band boundaries are not field programmable. You may have to ship the K3 to Watsonville, CA to have the 60 meter band limited to non-transmit. There is a chance that it can be done by Elecraft's distributor in Japan, but I don't know that for certain. Send

Re: [Elecraft] Duty on warranty repairs

There are ways to do this but it involves all parties being on the same page and paperwork. I always found it easier to drive to the border and register equipment with Canadian customs then drive to buffalo or niagra falls and ship from ups or whomever. I then have it shipped back for counter

Re: [Elecraft] Duty on warranty repairs

What has worked for me is make sure that Elecraft tags it as: "Amateur Radio being returned from Warranty Repairs". The tricky part is if they insure it for full value. CRA sometimes sees that as a value and will charge you HST on it. Also, make sure you use USPS to reduce brokerage fees.

[Elecraft] Duty on warranty repairs

Good afternoon, has any Canadian Elecrafters sent a rig to Elecraft for warranty repairs and if so when the radio was return were you charged any duty or HST taxes as it crossed over the boarder? I may be sending a rig down and was just wondering what cross boarder experience was of those who

Re: [Elecraft] K2: A couple of minor issues

Thanks again Don. I'm perfectly happy to accept that the MCU "just does that". Thanks for additional the info on the filters. I'll try what you suggest, and report back. The amplified speaker is a fine solution for me. I figured the K2's audio amp wasn't designed to be powerful - I just wanted

Re: [Elecraft] K2: A couple of minor issues

Thanks Phil. Maybe I'm just a bit deaf (but I don't think the rig is!). Usually, if the other guy isn't 59+, I have to have the AF Gain pot at between 2 and 3 o-clock. With the amplified speaker, the setting is similar to yours. The rig is on a flat table top, in the middle of a room and away

[Elecraft] K2: A couple of minor issues

Good evening, I have been enjoying my newly-built "K2 twins" over the last few weeks (K2 #7225), but so far, only on 20M and 17M - there's been no propagation on the higher bands, and I'm currently antenna-challenged on 30M and down. I measure full power out from the KPA100 with my LP-100, and

Re: [Elecraft] K2: A couple of minor issues

Jim, The K2 will sometimes display the Power or Speed when the VFO is turned. It does not happen frequently, but does show up when the MCU is busy doing "its" thing. It only comes on for an instant and only occasionally. So conclude that "it just does that" and ignore it, there is nothing
