Arduino UNO Q Starter kit

The delivery service seems to take some time to get the package moving. However it was worth the wait both the book and the Arduino UNO Q were of good quality and well packaged.The book in particular was very well written and full of practical exercises.

I can now repair 250 MHz Frequency Counter published by ELEKTOR.
My documents was not returned after I lent it out.

I have it working again now! And although not confirmed it should still be working all way to 300mhz we pushed high freq input to!
And maybe substituting 11C90 will go to 600 MHz.
Other things to do first.
Also considering crystal oven modification!

Thank you very much for sharing your experience. It is great to hear that you managed to get your Elektor 250 MHz Frequency Counter working again and that you are even considering some further modifications.

We always enjoy hearing when older Elektor projects are brought back to life and continue to inspire new ideas many years later.

As your comments mainly relate to your experience with this particular Elektor project, they would also be very valuable to other readers interested in the project itself. Nevertheless, we greatly appreciate you taking the time to share your experience with us here.

We wish you lots of success with your further experiments and modifications!

A fantastic archive.

This is a fantastic archive on a searchable USB stick of the Linear Audio magazines up to 2025.

They contain a wealth of informative and thought-provoking articles written by towering figures in the field of audio electronics.

If you are going to build any kind of audio gear this is worth a look.

On top of that, each article is meticulously referenced and these references are a valuable resource in themselves.

Elektor is usually very prompt which will give the highest score. But in this case I experienced a pre-order item for which there seems to be no expected time for delivery. I have asked and waiting for an answer.

I placed an order from your website on…1 june 2025

I placed an order from your website on June 1, 2025, on the same day I received a link to track your shipment to me in Sweden, but since GLS is not in Sweden, I could not search for the package.

However, I could see on GLS tracking that the package had been sent to Poland and delivered there……Why then?

I wrote to your support on June 10, 2025, on June 11 I received a response from your support, with another link from GLS, which, in principle, showed that the package was in Holland, which could not be the case because I had no way that this was sent to Poland….So what was true…..?

I replied to you on June 11 that your link that you had sent did NOT show where my package was…..

On June 12, 2025, your support replied that they would investigate where the package was…..

On June 17, 2025, your support replied to me that the package was at ICA Malmborgs in Limhamn, so I picked up my package then…..

Does Elektor really think this is good service?

If your support had already found out where the package was on June 10, I would have been more satisfied with your commitment, but that an order that was placed on June 1, 2025 in Holland will take 17 days to reach Sweden is not good service.

That your support has not checked where the package was to be sent to, that is, Sweden, and that your response with tracking really showed where the package really was is also incredibly bad!

No, that you do not have better routines to handle your deliveries is incredibly bad!

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us — we truly regret the inconvenience you've encountered.

We understand your frustration regarding the confusion and delays surrounding your shipment. Please allow us to clarify that we, as the sender, do not receive real-time updates or notifications about every tracking event once a parcel is in transit. Unfortunately, this includes cases where something goes wrong, such as a misrouting or delay. We only become aware of issues when customers notify us, as you did, and we then do our best to resolve the situation as quickly and accurately as possible.

Please also note that once a package has left our facility, it is handled by external logistics partners (such as GLS and their local delivery partners in your country). We have no control over the routing process, and we rely on the accuracy and timeliness of the tracking data they provide.

That said, we agree that the delivery should not have taken 17 days, and we completely understand that this was not the level of service you expected — nor the standard we strive to uphold. We will internally evaluate your case to see how we can improve our communication and follow-up processes going forward.

We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your feedback. It helps us work toward providing better service in the future.

Kind regards,

The Elektor Team

The Tale of the Vanishing Delivery Date

Once upon a time, a man named Thomas ordered a magical device called the QA403. The merchant, Elektor, promised it would return to stock on April 7th. Gold was paid, hopes were high.

But lo! The date moved. First “mid-April,” then “week of May 7,” and now “mid-May.” When Thomas asked why, a clerk named Cindy replied, “It was always a preorder” – though Thomas had scrolls (screenshots) proving otherwise.

Each time he looked, the delivery date had changed, like a trick played by a lazy court jester hoping no one would notice.

Now Thomas waits one last time. Should the package not arrive by May 13th, he will summon the ancient powers of Refund, and write this tale on the stone walls of PayPal.

Moral: Beware merchants who shift their promises as easily as wind moves a banner.

And so it came to pass that Marleen of House Elektor spoke — her words soft as velvet, woven with apologies and tales of shifting fates. She spoke of tracking scrolls, of unforeseen delays, and of suppliers as fickle as spring weather.

Thomas read her letter with a raised brow and a weary sigh. He acknowledged the courtesy, yet could not forget how the promised date danced like a mirage — close, then gone, again and again.

But lo! The magical device, the fabled QA403, had finally crossed the seven logistics realms and arrived at his humble lab. With tempered hope, he unpacked it. For even the most noble promises lose their luster when bathed too often in the rain of postponement.

Thus ends the second act. Whether trust shall bloom anew remains to be seen. But Thomas, now wiser and armed with patience (and PayPal still sheathed), awaits the first measurement.

Moral: When merchants sway like reeds in the wind, the wise buyer knots his expectations to sturdier posts.

Thank you for your colorful and creative review—it certainly caught our attention! We sincerely apologize for the shifting delivery dates and the frustration this has caused. We understand that clear and reliable communication is essential, and we regret that the timeline has changed multiple times.

While the QA403 was indeed a pre-order item, we recognize that expectations were set differently early on. As much as we strive to provide accurate availability dates, we are also dependent on our suppliers, and unforeseen delays can unfortunately occur.

According to our latest tracking information, your package has finally arrived, and we truly hope that it meets your expectations. Should you have any further concerns or require assistance, please do not hesitate to reach out. We appreciate your patience and hope to regain your trust.
