Wouxun Amateur VHF/UHF Handy
Group Import

Several Non Chennai hams have expressed the difficulty in taking physical delivery of sets from Chennai. Hence we have decided to have couriering of the sets also as an option with the following criteria. "I agree to bear the packaging and couriering cost. I ALSO AGREE TO BEAR THE RISK OF LOSS DURING TRANSIT WITH NO OBLICATIONS / IMPLICATIONS TO THE ORGANISERS". We also encourage you to collaborate with hams in your locality/city and intimating us that you wish the couriering to be done to one hams address in your location/city with the others picking up the set from that location . You may also nominate 1 ham from such group to pick up all the group member's sets from Chennai on your behalf. Forming such group can help group members in bulk purchase of coaxial cable, fabrication of dual band omnidirectional antenna's, dual band beams (for satellite working), diplexers and help each other in antenna tuning and erection. Folks who have already filled the form and wish to opt for couriering can mail me requesting this. I will change the form data accordingly.

Best regards

We (Me Aravind vu2abs, Das vu2dh and Deepan vu2dpn) plan to facilitate group import of the below equipment. Wouxun VHF handie KG-816 http://www.wouxun. com/Two-Way- Radio/KG- 816.htm and Wouxun VHF/UHF Dual Band Handie - KGUVD1P http://www.wouxun.com/Two-Way-Radio/KG-UVD1P.htm This is not for profit, cost sharing, volunteer driven group import venture. We are doing this neither as a part of any amateur radio body/club nor as a commercial entity. We will begin import, once we reach interest for at least 100 sets for each model above. We will give preference to new comers (i.e. hams who have no equipment and will be using this equipment to come on the air). We have no relationship/ partnership with Wouxun or any Honkgong based reseller. As part of the group buy we will get the manufacturer' s warranty (18 months for radio body and 6 months for all accessories) .

Please go through the product reviews at eham.net and other forums and user feedback in the yahoo groups ([Wouxun_KG- UVD1], [kg-uvd1] [Chinesehamradios] ) and other user groups in the INTERNET and satisfy yourself that the features and functionality of the above models are to your liking and satisfy your needs.
