| Raj, I would appreciate more info as homebrewing Elektor kits is fun. Do these "new people" have an address and telephone number, or better still a website?? 73ees, pat --- On Sun, 9/25/11, Raj <vu2zap@gmail.com> wrote:

Pat,
The new people are also selling kits, I thought they were expensive!
LOL! Thanks for the info Raj. They didn't have the grace to return our money, assuming of course that its a company and not a sole propietorship in which case I wouldn't have felt so bitter. On the brighter side am glad that there are some excellent ham radio kits in the Indian market these last few years.![[]](http://mail.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/mesg/tsmileys2/01.gif)

- The Elektor people wound up. There was a chap heading it I have forgotten his name and he passed away and the whole operation wound up. I lost 850 on a subscription!
- Now Elektor is being published by its parent company. Bi-monthly and glossy. Old articles only!
- Best regardsees too.

The kits that they sent were flawed with parts missing or are incompatible. For instance, a 20m CW-SSB elektor receiver kit I homebrewed blew up in my face when the supposedly JFET frontend transistor BF256B was replaced with a BF199 (a bipolar coded as F99 on the surface). The kits are not assembler friendly unlike the Visha and Vegakits I have been used to. Have any of you had experiences like mine with Century??
