Source for V551 antennas?

Archived from groups: alt.cellular.motorola (More info?)

I've lost my antenna 4 times now. Keep ordering new ones on the web
(Cingular wants $35.00, cellphoneshop.com gets 50 cents). I just
ordered a bunch of antennas, 5 "original", 5 stubby, 5 extendable, 1
remote. They took over a week to ship from Hong Kong. Only the OEM
looking onces fit. The others obviously had smaller stems. The remove
was the same as one I had for my Nokia. Didn't work at all.

I'm looking for a good source where I can put in a supply of these
guys.

Thanks,
John

they go for 93 cents on ebay, ~$8.50 for shipping, chrome. It is supposed to
increase the reception as well...
