Elecraft Shipping time to UK

[M0XDF]

Can anyone give me an idea of the time is takes for goods to reach the UK?
I'm away most of August and if Elecraft ship my K3 at end of July, it might
just sit in Royal mail for 5 days, before I can get it - they will then
return it to Elecraft :-)

On second thoughts Thomas, why not get delivery delivered until your
return so that someone else can be receive their K3 a littel earlier?

Allow a couple of weeks for delivery as the package will be directed
through Customs for VAT to be charged, plus the Royal Mail handling fee.

Depending how far back in the queue you are, it could be late August or
even September before it arrives.

In the past, I've been pretty impressed with the speed of delivery. I
seem to remember when I ordered my K2 kit it took less than a week.

I think the post office will hang on to undeliverable packages for 14
days before returning them to the sender.

If I were you I'd cancel your holiday. :)

I want to check the various possible mismatches between the
(coax)feedline and antenna feedpoint( adjustable loaded dipole ).

What is the influence - if any - of the Elecraft 30 dB directional
coupler ( mounted in the mast right at the antenna's feedpoint ) on the
transition from feedline to antenne feedpoint ?

Does the directional coupler cause an ( extra )  impedance jump between
feedline and antenna feedpoint , disturbing the values of the FW and Rev
readings ?

Thanks,
Peter, PE1E

My company sends small packages from California to the UK all the time.
It usually takes about a week and a half. A K3 is larger, so I'm not
sure it's the same.

Peter,

A directional coupler similar to the Elecraft CP1 is used in many
wattmeter applications, and should not create any unusual impedance
discontinuity.

You can in fact use an RF probe (or 'scope) at the FWD and the REV
terminals of the CP1 to measure the RF voltage and calculate the power
and SWR.

Further to the discussions surrounding ParcelFarce's treatment of
incoming goods, and my only experience with them is through buying
Elecraft bits, I'm having trouble on my latest purchase that I thought
I'd share.

I ordered a KAT2 auto-atu kit on or around June 10th and got the usual,
prompt and friendly email informing me that it shipped on June 11th. It
still hasn't arrived in the UK, 16 days later.

Using the tracking number, supplied by Lisa, shows that it was last seen
on 14th June whan it was marked "Left Origin Country". ParcelFarce's
track & Trace shows it to be in status "Handed Over" whatever that
means. I seem to remember previous packages show "Arrived at hub" and
"Awaiting Customs clearance" etc, but I don't recall anyhting sitting at
"Handed Over" for 13 days before.

Lisa reports that others are reporting missing/delayed parcels that were
shipped on the 11th.

Is anyone else having this problem? Has anyone (UK or US) taken delivery
of a parcel that shipped from Aptos on the 11th June?

Cheers,

John
