Hi Bonk, Solid Signal has them here. Very decent company. I have bought FM stereo antennas from them in the past and had no issues at all.

I just got this one a couple of weeks ago from Amazon. The price was $35 then. I think it's fair to say Amazon is a trusted site. Just know that this antenna is a beast. It is very top heavy and requires a sturdy mast. Other then being all bent out of shape when shipped, I am pleased with it.

Hey Bonk,
These are very good questions you are asking. So good that other people have asked them and a discussion has taken place. Look here.

Researching is part of the fun.

Bonk, the Radio Shack sputnik cannot do low band VHF. It is a VHF-Hi to UHF-Hi and Lo.
If your area utilizes VHF low band (30-50Mhz.), this antenna may not work well in that band. As the ST2 does it all. My area of NY uses alot on low band with Fire Depts. So the ST2 has worked fine for me.

I don't have the RS discone, but I do have the ST2 and it works good.
