[Towertalk] Antenna Analyzer Suggestions?

[Chris BONDE]

I based the price on a price from MFJ catalogue and a quick calculation by 
thumb.  Most of the hams here just double the US cost for approximate 
landed cost.

I shall do one a little more carefully.  From the MFJ 2002 
catalogue,  MFJ269   US$359.95 + battery and coils US$54.85 plus S&H 
US$20.00 = US$434.80  Exchange, now better than you quoted (for me not 
you),  US$434.80 * CA$157.86 / US$100 = CA$686.33.  Now seeing that it is 
for experimental radio work and research, no duty.  However, there is a 
Poke and Screw Tax  (Provincial Sales Tax) and a Gouge and Screw Tax 
(federal Goods and Service Tax) at 7.5% plus 7%.  So to the $686.33 add 
$99.52 to total CA$785.85.
