I had a list of around five cheapest, I think four in US one Canada. Only one of those could manage a normal Visa payment and export to UK with delivery charge of extra 70 USD. There would also have been UK import duty then VAT on total including shipping. I eventually ordered from gpsw.co.uk, UKP 71.02 inclusive. I'd searched their site prior to trying the US ones and not been able to locate the GPS 18x-LVC and only went back after it being confirmed here they stocked the product. I've not yet connected the GPS 18x as still thinking about where to mount it. I previously tried with a BR304 without pps and had 80% of time +/- 25ms, much worse than for time from internet whilst a Conrad DCF module used over a few days gave 80% at +/- 2ms, better than expected, but both BR304 and DCF have reception difficulties.
