Special offer

Just ordered a handbook. Couldn't beat the price! Make great presents. Got one last yr for my son in law when he passed his extra. Not sure if I'll keep this one or make it a gift.

Tnx Elecraft

Re: Special offer

Hi All,

It's a really good deal, particularly when you see that ARRL is selling them
for $20 more, and that is supposedly $10 off the regular price. I already
ordered (and received) one from Bill Kelsey (Kanga US). It cost a bit more,
but the shipping was less, so around the same price--and I got the hardbound
version at that price.

As soon as I saw the Elecraft offer, I passed in on to a friend (who will
soon be a K3 owner). He had seen my copy, and wanted one. I was a little
disappointed when he told me what the postage was, but maybe Bill Kelsey ate
the "processing" part.

Anyway, it's a really good buy, and the 2010 Handbook is loaded with good
stuff. I don't know what's going on with all the "deals" this year from
ARRL on this new version, but clearly this is the year to buy a new edition
if you haven't updated recently. Even Dayton prices on new editions haven't
been this good! Don't forget that you also get a CD with the entire book
contained therein, so you can also have the whole thing at your fingertips
when you travel, etc.

The 2010 edition is a really major revision with a number of the
chapters re-written from scratch. I wrote the chapters on
"Modulation" (8) and "DSP and Software Radio Design" (15) and
contributed a new section on VHF/UHF mobile propagation in the
Propagation chapter (19).

If you haven't bought a new edition of the Handbook in awhile this would
be a good time to upgrade. (No, I don't get paid per copy. :=)

If you select "USPO Book Rate" for shipping the total S&H is $7.20...making the grand total $37.15.

Re: Special offer

Locally they charge $10 more for the Handbook but picking it up and paying
tax I save about $4 over the special offer account the freight charge.

Because I had been considering a new Owner's Manual for some time,
I chose to bundle that with a Handbook. The combined shipping
wasn't a lot more than the Manual alone, which is obviously available
only from Elecraft.

Probably the 15 pound limit on book rate?

The 999 is an alert to point out you have exceeded the allowable weight
for book rate. (It also shows up if you forget to pick a shipping method.)

Email [hidden email] and they will give you the actual shipping cost.

The old USPS "book rate" is now called "Media Rate". The maximum
weight is 70 lbs.
