Where to purchase Maldol MH-255?

[JHaislet]

I'd like to pick up a Maldol MH-255 but haven't found it online.

It's just like the Maldol MH-209, except it's tuned specifically for 153-157/460-470MHz instead of the 2M/70cm ham bands like the MH-209.

Good luck. Every site I've seen has to be translated from German or other, and still the 255 isn't listed.

I'll keep looking.

antenna

I got mine from a ham radio dealer on Ebay. It made a BIG difference in reception on my FT-60r.
Try the Ham Radio Outlet and The Antenna Farm. They both have web sites.

I ended up finding one at WB0W.com. It wasn't listed on their site, but they do carry them. I'm hoping this will work even better than the 144mhz "Active Hunter" since I'm after stuff at 157MHz.

Maldol MH-255

What does this antenna look like? Where can I see a picture. The eBayer has the unit in a package showing only the product name...no "item view". Is this a mobile antenna or for a hand held?
'scuse my ignorance...just am not familiar with this name. I am also interested in this frequency range.
Thanks.
