Advice about a company

[Bob]

Has anyone recently had any dealing with the company called 13cm.co.uk
I ordered some 23cm atv equipment and cannot get any replies by phone or email, I'm beginning to suspect a scam.
Thanks Bob G4BGQ

Hi Bob,

I don't think a scam, more a dead company and the site hasn't been taken down. I've looked at it several times in the past and nothing has ever changed. I may be wrong, I'm sure someone on the forum will know the score.

Thank you, my payment was taken so someone is making money out of the site.
I have raised a dispute with my band to get a refund.

Hi Bob

How long have you been waiting? This is DTECH or maybe Mason Electronics run by Nigel Downing

DTECH are at:
PO Box 26
Belper
Derbyshire
DE56 1YU

I seem to remember DTECH being absolutely fine when I ordered an Arduino UNO from them in 2012 via EBay. I think the zombie website might be the cause of this. The Ebay account is also inactive. Perhaps automated payments are heading for /dev/null ?

Yes it is DTECH, I expect my card bank to refund the payment after a 14 day wait period.
It'a a nusiance because I really wanted the Comtech tx and logic modules. They seem to be non available and I cannot find any othey 23cm kits

Minikits Austrailia are still selling 23cm analogue kits and built boards.

Those Comtech units are from 20 years ago! Giles G1MFG did some logic boards CQTV192. https://batc.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/cq-tv192.pdf and in the Wiki https://wiki.batc.org.uk/Comtech_module


They are obsolete but there are probably hundreds of them sitting on peoples shelves. Try an ad in the Wanted section?
