For a really good U/VHF antenna, I recommend a Diamond RH77CA, and the Rat
Shack antenna is collapsible.

Eric:
I took most of your advice and just got a used Yaesu VR-120 from
Universal Radio. I am emailing you to see if the RS antenna that you
speak about is the one I list here. It seems correct except that by
the description, it will only receive at 25-1300 MHz, which is above
the SW bands.
Am I looking at the wrong one?

Thanks.
