Looking for a Replacement Antenna, for Motorola JT1000 (VHF)
Posted: Fri May 01, 2020 5:33 am
Well I knew the day would come, when the antenna on my trusted JT1000 would crumble.... simply out of age & use. Some folks refer to it as de-vulcanizing, while others simply call it dry-rot. Either way, the antenna is in dire need of replacement, and I've been out of the industry for well over 15 years. Any thoughts as to where a reliable replacement antenna can be purchased, for a reasonable price?
The radio is typically used over a range of 146 - 163 MHz (i.e. Ham, Railroads, & Weather). Years ago, the radio shop I work at would buy replacement antennas from a vendor, which were marketed using a cartoon character, who resembled Daffy Duck. Tuf Duck Antennas by Centurion I believe.
Are they still around, or would it be better advised, to buy a replacement through Motorola Parts? I'm open to suggestions......
Thanks,
