The 225 I just won on ebay turns out not to have the factory-supplied
whip, which I'd like to have because I like my radios to be complete
and because it might come in handy. Lowe no longer ships to the U.S.,
and I don't know anybody in G.B. who might ship it for me. Besides,
shipping probably would cost twice as much as the antenna.

Any ideas for a source?

The AC adapter also is missing. What's the best way to prevent a wall
wart from creating a hum problem, or should I just get a real power
supply (regulated, nonswitching)?

Thanks.
