I "second" the Maldol. I also use it. It's tuned for 2M/70cm. Works great on the R2. I also use it on the Icom-Q7A specifically for 2M/70cm use. Also good performance for local repeater use.

The Comet is about 1 1/2" long--the Maldol is about twice that length. The Comet is hard, inflexible plastic--the Maldol is very flexible, similar to sponge. Mind you, they aren't designed for being an 'all around' antenna. But, they are good for up close monitoring. I use them when at airshows, or other places where I have the scanner actually inside my pocket. The Maldol gives a much better performance. I picked up both at a local flee market, so I can't be of much help on directing you to a seller. However, they are pretty common. - Brian Yahoo!
