The reason is that right now, the US Dollar is at a near record high
compared to the British Pound. Take a look at this chart:

A year ago when the Perseus price was set, a Pound cost about $2.11 US, but
now it cost about $1.50, plus we don't pay the VAT tax and here in
California we avoid the state sales tax. That adds up to a massive savings.
I looked into other dealers selling the Perseus in EU who use the Euro
(Spain, Italy), but our best monetary advantage today is the GBP.

Nice Ron. Is there a reason you chose to order from England vs. one
of the US Distributors (Universal Radio or SSB Electronics)?
I've had a QuickSilver QSR1 on my want list for awhile now.
