[Elecraft] QRO - KPA500 Failure

[Rick Bates, NK7I]

They self-insure OUTbound from Elecraft; it falls on the shipper to 
insure, not the recipient.

I had to send in the RF deck (only) of the KPA1500 for factory upgrades 
and I asked for Elecraft to cover shipping.  I waited a few days.

An hour after I got back from shipping it UPS from Idaho (the insurance 
was a killer, total bill ~$180), they approved paying for it.  DOH!

Ask, then be more patient than me.  The worst answer is 'no' and that 
only costs you time to find out.
