Hello Guys
a fair share of K3s and other kits are sold overseas. The buyers' credit
cards are denominated in some other currency like GBP, AUD or EUR.
Henceforth, their bank often charges up to 2% for the currency conversion.
On a $ 2,500 order that's $ 50!
If Elecraft could get their cc processing company or bank to quote sale
prices in the leading currencies by customers' transaction volume, folks
would save thousands. Amazon is doing it... When their computer noticed me
entering a UK cc, they offered to pay in GBP.
