Perhaps you can find one on ebay,

One of my friends refers to MFJ as Mighty Fine Junk. How good is it?

Some of MFJ's products are indeed questionable (like their RTTY
reader)
but the noise cancelling antenna actually works as advertised. It is
very
tweak intensive, however, and precludes casual band surfing, as the
phase
relationship between the noise and signal antennas changes as you
change frequency.
