Hello Tony:

I think that cheap copies of the Starduster are out there. But the
quality is the lowest I have ever seen. I bought a new cheap copy at a
yard sale new in the box. After a few mins of looking at it, I threw it
in the trash. I believe there went for something like 39.95 and the
copies where engineered to have the cheapest design possible.

Maybe E-bay will have a older original one listed. Channel Guard also
made a Starduster copy that was of excellent quality.

If you drive around in populated areas you might see one that the owner
isn't using, and ask if they want to get rid of it. And if it been there
a while its a good bet its a original one. Use the good LMR400 Coax.
