What is everyone using that performs well without breaking and is flexible enough for tight trails? where did you get it?

Lee in out of town...I got a short, very flexible steel whip at Business Radio (Wrongway on here) Lee and I got it tuned, and it works great. Kinda spendy, but worth it.

I don't remember the specific part number but Radio Shack sells a nice antenna that several of us run. It's a wire whip that holds up pretty well.

I'm running a Firestik with the heavy duty Firestik spring. Amazon is the place the buy them. It's taken a beating and still works.

Same here. I've broken a firestick in a parking garage, but that was more do to it grinding it down and messing with my tune. With the spring they just bounce of trees and stuff.

Firestik FS-3 with a spring from Rottwheeler. The top is about level with the top of the cage, but it still works well.

You bet. We don't actually carry the equipment as we don't get that many in looking for it. But let me know what you're looking for and I can research it up and let u know some pricing.
