Or, you can contact Terry (Mr. 55) and order one from him!
You can contact 55 at 904-753-0759...
Here is some pictures of my 55's on my Suburban, with some Hank Breedlove Ball Mounts...
These are the Original Version 55's, which have 3/4" wide flat coils...The R4's have 1/2" wide flat coils...Terry still builds both versions, and have very clean welds. $70 + S&H. (I think S&H is $10, and he can ship as many as 3 at one time for this price)
note: Terry's 55's won't have stingers, so you will need a 102" whip to cut down for a stinger...

Don't know Cajun Invader's problem, but I bought 2 R4's from Fatboy back in the Spring, and the welds on these antenna's I got from Terry are allot cleaner than the ones from Fatboy...Other than that tho, they are the same antenna.
Guess maybe he makes a better Mobile Antenna, than Base Antenna's! So far, the ones I have work just fine, and after doing a little polishing on the aluminum after I got them, they almost look chrome...
After having the Fatboy R4's, I was more than pleased with these as for as the welds go. If I get a chance, I'll try and get some close-up pics of the welds around the coil, and at the top and bottom of the antenna so you can see. They are nothing like what was on that Merlin...
And for what it's worth...they do work good in DX, I talked to 209 in Washington today, also talked to Silver Streak (Oregon), Davy Crockett (Illinois) and a few others.
I'll try and get some pics this weekend...long as it don't rain.
Well I consider it more of a quality control issue than a defective device I suppose.
