[net.ham-radio] wanted: info on buying ham gear in Japan

halbert (03/01/83)

Have any of you bought ham gear in Japan? I'll be vacationing there shortly.
I know about Akihabara and have been told that "Rocket" is a good store.
I need information about relative prices, duty, export models as opposed to 
"made for Japan" models, validity of warranties, and so forth. Thanks.
