hmmm, 1 of my friends has one and his mode of transportation is his bike, 
that's the antenna he uses and he used to ride for miles a day with that 
radio, of course it was dropped now and then and his antenna never broke, 
the stock one did though. I can see where the diamond could but his hasn't 
yet. I'm thinking about getting the same one but as long as my comet one 
works I'll stick with that.
