Excellent, it opened my Paypal account to sign into, showed me I had 
$28.00 still in there I had almost forgotten about. Hmm, sounds fair 
to me, antenna $15 95, shipping $12.95, total $28.90, so basically 
this little baby was going to cost me 90 cents (US). (That's me 
thinking positive eh!) Maybe though, a little too easy to part with 
yer actual hard earned? LOL. Will post up my opinion on it when I 
have had it long enough to test against the standard Icom supplied 
antenna if anyone is interested.
