[hpsdr] Apache no longer ship direct to the UK

[k3it]

If Anan radios are so illegal in UK that they confiscated by customs by
dozens without explanation, how is Waters and Stanton able to import and
re-sell them?  Are dealers not subject to the same or even more strict
rules as individuals? just curious.. :)
