[Elecraft] K$ delivery Europe

[turnbull]

I asked Elecraft on the phone on two separate occassions and was told in the EU we should not expect delivery before April.    I am sure you could go to USA and bring one back on a plane; declare to customs and then pay duty and VAT.   On an expensive item, I am not sure how complicated this would be.73 Doug EI2CNSent from my Samsung Galaxy smartphone.

I have no clue if they would alsohave to do anything additional with the TUV before shipping to .deI doubt that there’s anything prohibiting them from handing an earlyshipping unit over in Watsonville ahead of CE certification should youhappen to take a vacation to do pickup and self import :)Good luck in any case - I am eagerly waiting for a unit myself.ScottAD6YTOn Thursday, October 10, 2019, Udo Langenohl - DK5YA <dk5ya at dk5ya.de> wrote:> In a video with Eric taped end of September at Waters&Stanton UK I've> learned that the K4 won't be delivered earlier than end of March or> beginning of April 2020 in Europe.
