For we Europeans, British in my case, the Symmetricom GPS antennas are very good buy – but the addition of US $60.00 for the shipping makes them rather expensive ! – plus taxes ......

Same here,
shipping costs to Italy were quoted at $65, no joy.
I'll try to make some US friend buy one and re-send with cheaper
method, if possible.

Hello Time-Nuts,

thanks for that hint. Anyone in Europe / Germany interested?
I´d be interested in buying some of those - I´d be willing
to organize a  centralised buying, pick them up at the
customs and forward them (if the number stays reasonable
:-)  Please send me a private message if interested.

Have a nice weekend,

Matthias

Hallo Matthias,
ich wäre an drei Antennen interessiert, wenn die Versandkosten im Rahmen bleiben.

Ich bin im Raum Darmstadt.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen

Does anyone know of any issue with licensing (export licenses) for
these?  I seldom hesitate to ship old computer stuff I have, but that
GPS is technically a military tool gives me pause to step up. The vendor
may have such things ironed out, but individuals that step up here may
have a hassle to worse to send them to you guys in Europe.

Not sure of restrictions, maybe someone can comment.

Maybe a bulk buy thru someone who can transship to the appropriate place
in Europe then send out most economically from there would work.  But
high shipping rates is par for what I've had to pay to send computer
things one at a time to Europe.

I had a discussion just last week about shipping out a lot of test
equipment and RF stuff that the naive user might get into a world of
hurt shipping. (not Time Nut type but restricted).  There was not a lot
to indicate what was going to get you into trouble.

Typical problems were "just sell it to me and ship it to this export
broker @ xyz NYC or such) which of course doesn't relieve the seller of
responsibility of export licensing, etc.  This was done on several Ebay
sales just to clarify the problem and ways people overseas were trying
to get people to do the wrong thing.

thanks
Jim

Hi

These antennas are in the same league as a automotive GPS. Since they don’t even have the GPS receiver in them, they actually have fewer regulations on them. As such
there are no restrictions on exporting them. That said, I don’t think I would ship anything (even a bottle of milk) to some countries without expecting a hassle. As long as you are shipping to Europe, there should be no problem at all.
