[Elecraft] Overseas distribution and service?

[Dave]

Alan, G4GNX, it’s not unfair to expect an item purchased from a main dealer
in the UK for the dealer to supply service, without the purchaser having to
pay for shipping to/from California. A friend recently had to pay return
shipping from the USA on a K4D warranty repair for an item purchased from
W&S…

It’s a different matter if someone purchases a product directly from
Elecraft.

At least with the main Japanese equipment there are service manuals freely
available (eg FTDX101D, TS890S and IC-7610) and dealer/distributor UK based
service.

By comparison, with Elecraft you are completely out on a limb with their
later equipment.
