Replacement Sangean ATS-909 whip antenna?

[safetyobc]

I did a stupid thing today. I bent and broke my whip antenna on my ATS-909 because I was in a hurry and colapsed it from the top down instead of pulling it from the bottom. I emailed Sangean directly but I thought I would get some opinions here as well.

Where can I buy a replacement? It seems all I would need to do is remove the small screw at the base of the antenna (outside the radio) and put another antenna there. I would like to get one exactly the same length or very close to it if possible.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Happens all the time. Try calling the C Crane Co - 1-800-522-8863 - Mon - Fri 6:30am - 5:30pm and Saturday 7:00am - 5:00pm (PST) .

They sell the 909 and accessories, and usually have plenty of parts around, as well as refurbished used radios.

Disclaimer, Full Disclosure and Due Diligence, etc etc: I worked there in the early 90s as sort of their "scanner guy," back when scanners used to be a large part of their product line, and they treat their customers very well. I no longer have any connection with them whatsoever.

Yep, C Crane had one.

Cost me $9.95 which included shipping.

I hope I don't make that mistake again.

Thanks for the information. I really appreciate it.

Antenna arrived today.

C-Crane was a pleasure to deal with. Fast shipping too!

My first experience with them. Thanks for the suggestion. My Sangean feels whole again!
