Hello Bill,
Yes maybe, I don't know.....
Direct import involves customs duties, shipping costs and additional
local VAT. Which in total is still a lot.
Experienced that with Elecraft and other HAM stuff I imported in the past.
Fact is, I wanted a local respected TT dealer who offers correct service.
Apello Funk in Hamburg/Germany (the nearest one for me) do a great job.
In any case it was good money spent and the rig offers me all I can
think of and then some more.
