You may want to order it with the USB programming cable. The software is a free download.
What warranty is offered?
If buying directly from Hong Kong you should get a repair/replacement upon return of the faulty
item. You have to pay for the shipping cost for returning the faulty item to HK. Check the rules
with the seller before buying!
If the UV-3R has been bought new from a local/national source, check with the seller for his
warranty policy in advance. Warranty rules depend on your country and shop, so it is impossible
to list them here.
How long does it take to get it (from Hong Kong)?
The answer to this question depends on too many factors. If not ordered with an express courier
and the UV-3R is in stock at the HK seller, it will probably leave Far East within a week from
payment. So far they have been shipped as registered letter, so you can track it on Hong Kong
Post website and then on your country’s Post website.
Depending on your country’s customs, the parcel might get stuck there, so the total travel time
can be anywhere between 2 and 6 weeks. Certain countries may expect more delay. All Far
East sellers are well aware of shipping times and usually mention it on their pages.
If you are in a hurry, then pay for express courier delivery (DHL and such). You may group with
local HAMs to split the extra cost. DHL usually does apply VAT and import duties, so consider
taking advantage of a group buy.
