Over the last few years, the UK and EU have
benefited from the exchange rate when purchasing Elecraft equipment, but our
Pounds or Euros now buy far less Dollars. This makes the purchasing of
small components for K3 mods from Elecraft somewhat expensive. Also,
because of export
overheads, it is burdensome for Elecraft to ship small orders
overseas, so with Wayne's blessing, a UK business is offering to
supply some items for K3 owners in the EU at very advantageous
prices.
For example, a small component kit including the exact
items for the K3AFMDKT, which also includes parts for Larry Phipps'
suggested IF output to panadapter mod. (plus a couple of spare SMTs), is
available posted to UK addresses for £3.50 or posted to EU
addresses for £4.00. The kit designation is K3MODKIT#1 and a number
of K3 owners in both the UK and EU have availed themselves of it
already.
Other components e.g. for the Synth. ALC mod or the
AF output mod are available individually on Mode Components' website, in SMT or
leaded versions, so can be added to the order for a few pennies. Parts not
appearing in the component listing can be obtained and added to the list in a
day or two.

Chris, who owns Mode Components, maintains a
considerable library of spec. sheets for active devices and supplies copies
with purchases as a matter of course, if he has them. If you don't see
what you want, drop Chris an email to <A

You may find yourself pleasantly surprised, especially if the parts are made
from "Unobtainium" HI! Components are always carefully and appropriately
bagged before shipping. His turnround is fast and P&P charges are
very fair.
A Happy 2009, everyone & 73 Dave L
