Newstar is on Amazon UK

The DR111 is being sold on Amazon UK

tpreitzel · 15-06-2012, 19:11

Let me know if the Newstar DR111 is ever listed on Amazon.com in the US. Frankly, the ordering process for this receiver is a pain in the rear. Buyers and sellers on different continents don't help the situation, either. Either automate the purchasing process using a credit card system or list the DR111 with popular online retailers such as Amazon.

BTW, since I don't use PayPal, how does one pay for Newstar's DR111? I STILL don't have an answer to this question even after contacting representatives working for Chengdu.

Update: Until more private enterprises list Newstar's DR111 on popular online sites such as Amazon, one can always e-mail Allen Liang for his physical residence in the USA so one can send him a personal check. Frustrating ... If you're in Europe, buy from Ian off Amazon in the UK.... lucky Europeans!

We have sold out of our first batch of stock, we are in the process of getting more stock. A good sign for DRM.
We are now selling the Degen 31MS to go with the DR111 as a good simple antenna

I just received an e-mail from Allen Liang that the DR111 shipped from China can no longer include the CR1220 battery which keeps the time with the AC disconnected. So, buyers will have to buy this battery separately. Hopefully, allowance will be made to continue warranties since the case will probably have to be opened to install the battery. This craziness with air freight restrictions is just another reason to USE independent sellers like Ian who can install the batteries for customers and maintain factory warranties. The DR111 will probably have to be redesigned for mass production..

I recall Newton's cat story.
there are many, the airfreight and passengers can have batteries in mobiles and their portable accessoriedslike laptop wha what not.
Likewise, at petrol bunks
oner should not lit a match stick or cigarette, as it ignites the perol
these very people forget the temperature of the bike's engine and silencer section .
I could not buy one postiv20 ( positive resist spay for making PCBs) can from Farnell.com as airfreight restrictions for translporting inflammable aerosol filled can.
Funny ways of protection.

All Radios bought on Amazon will have the latest firmware

I wonder how it compares to the Himalaya DRM 2009 ? Shame no provision for batteries...

ianf · 23-08-2012, 13:34

I dont know, but it certainly outperforms the Morphy Richards I used to own. I've signed up to your group as well
