Hello, I am looking to replace the antenna for my wouxun HT wich was bent to the point of being useless in a fall a cupple months ago.  

Can some one recommend a good antenna?  I am looking for one leaning on the short side due to the fact that I carry mine around a lot.  I like the size of the antenna that came with my baofeng radio but the VHF side is really lacking in my opinion.  I used to have a antenna but the plastic sleeve that protected the wire part of the antenna lost it's stickiness aroung the base and kept coming off.  I think it was a diamond but now I am not shore.  It was around 3 inches long.  Grate little antenna the sleeve issue being it's only down fall.  

Any Ideas welcome.

thanks again,
