So does anyone know for sure if one of these companies has any in stock?
Ive read here that HRO has them, however their website says they don't and a phonecall turned up no answer.

GREAT Antenna
Well,
I thought I would post what I found so far by using my new Diamond SRH77CA antenna.
First I put it on my Yeasu VX-5R triple band HT. Awesome, really! There is one 2m repeater south of me about 50 miles away that I could barely hear with my stock HT antenna, as well as the Comet dual bander I just bought a few weeks ago.
I now have at least 3-4 S-Units now. On other repeaters where I would get "hash" when moving around is now completely gone. Now when I walk inside the house, around the backyard under the carport, etc. I get complete signal with no cutting in and out. This is on all repeaters I have programmed in the HT. That right there is definitely worth the money for me.
My SMA to BNC adapters came in today so I tried this antenna out on my Pro-97 and 94. EXCELLENT receive on ALL bands I have programmed, VHF through 800MHz.
It even receives 800MHz trunked better than my R.S. 800MHz antenna. All frequencies are coming in stronger. Neighboring systems are coming in a LOT stronger. I even tried VHF Air on my HT and heard plenty of traffic.
So in MY opinion, this IS a GREAT HT/Scanner antenna. Better than any other antenna that I have tried on any of my portables. WELL worth the money.
Now I will have to buy the BNC model to STAY on my scanner so the SMA model can stay on my HT.

I spoke with Steve @ Universal Radio via e-mail this afternoon and he informed me that their shipment of the RH77CA should be in by next week.
So keep your figners crossed!
