N8XJK Super Booster
I recently purchased the N8XJK Super Booster and share my initial impressions.
Purchase Method
West Mountain Radio makes great product, but their shipping to Canada is pretty expensive. Here is what it would have cost to get the booster shipped here (in USD):
Thankfully, GPS Central in Alberta carries West Mountain Radio gear and sells it for pretty much the same price (after exchange rate):
| Booster | Shipping | Duty / Taxes | Total | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| WMR (in USD) | $249.95 | $102.93 | $13.00 | $365.88 |
| WMR (in CAD1)) | $354.93 | $147.58 | $18.46 | $520.97 |
| GPS Central | $360 | $20.00 | $45.60 | $425.60 |
The Power Booster is currently not listed on GPS Central's website, but I sent them an email and they have it in stock so I was able to buy it over the phone, and I received it 3 days later.
Radio World in Ontario also carries West Mountain Radio equipment, but their shipping is a bit more expensive (probably because of distance). Here's the shipping options for a similarly sized item (they also don't have the Power Boost on their website yet):
We have a list of retailers on the Link page sorted by distance (and most-likely by shipping prices).
