[Elecraft] Buying a K3 in the UK?

[John Shaw]

I see Joe mentioned ANZAC.  Take note Elecraft having a agent in Australia
is absolutely no advantage to New Zealand.  SteppIR did this, what an
absolute disaster and the beginning of the end for SteppIR who were a great
company to deal with direct.  I'm defiantly in the group of continue to deal
direct.

In general establishing a "parts depot" in each country (or common trading
block) would be a very expensive proposition.  While doing so for a large
block like the EU might make sense doing so on a single country basis or
even a small block like ANZAC is far too capital intensive to be justified.
