Customer Service and Support
Technical Assistance
You can send e-mail to
and we will respond quickly - typically the same day
Monday through Friday. Telephone assistance is available from 9 A.M. to 5 P.M. Pacific time (weekdays
only) at 831-763-4211. Please use e-mail rather than calling when possible since this gives us a written
record of the details of your problem and allows us to handle a larger number of requests each day.
Repair / Alignment Service
(We want to make sure everyone succeeds!)
If necessary, you may return your Elecraft product to us for repair or alignment. (Note: We offer unlimited
email and phone support to get your kit running, so please try that route first as we can usually help you
find the problem quickly.)
IMPORTANT:
You must contact Elecraft before mailing your product
to obtain authorization for the
return, what address to ship it to and current information on repair fees and turnaround times. (Frequently
we can determine the cause of your problem and save you the trouble of shipping it back to us.) Our repair
location is different from our factory location. We will give you the address to ship your kit to at the time
of repair authorization.
Packages shipped without authorization will incur an additional shipping charge
for reshipment to our repair depot.
