are now $289.99. Add to this amount the sales tax, auto-controller and mount
and you are way over $600.00. This is more then I paid for my FT-100D, which
I purchased new. At this point in time, the Hustler antenna is working fine
and I don't have to worry about theft.

Check out fair radio sales, they had some surplus screwdriver antenna
parts.

Thanks for the information as I will check into it. BTY, the Little Tarheel
now sells for $389.99 which is way too much money for this small antenna.

hi,

I think the prices for USA manufactured antenna of this quality
is about right, compared to others in this class.

the Tarheel series is a production antenna, you can take a dozen or
so of the Tarheels off individual vehicles, disassemble them and mix
the parts up in a box and put it back together and each one will fit and
work as designed. They are not tossed together from random parts rund.

The original poster could order one from Tarheel and save the sales
taxes
if you live out of NC.

What I saw in the catalog was the coils for about $70. I dont see it
online. I think it still needed the stinger and a motor plus the
control box.
