I'm also enjoying all the feedback since my original post. I look at this way; these Rubidiums are probably in the region of $1000 new. We're getting them for a song. OK, you take the risk of the odd dud, but that's the way of fleabay. I will let you all know how UK Customs performs on my shipment if & when it arrives!
Happy New Year to all Time Nutters out there.

It's no wonder the Chinese are eating our lunch. First, intellectual property is an oxymoron to them. Second, cheating is a way of life; root hog or die. Third, push the system until it burps, then back off just a little. Actually, I enjoy low cost, "free" shipping, and direct purchase. There's no chain of distributors, reps, quotes, wholesalers, etc to deal with. OTH, it is caveat emptor, and lots of the stuff is crap. It's kinda like dope. Remember? know your dealer. Happy New Year to all of ya! PS I call all goods going to Canada used Amateur radio equipment. Don Richard W.
