[Icom] Good 2 meter antennas (wanted)

John,

Larson makes HT antennas.
HRO and AES carries them.
They make them in Dual Band and Mono Band.
I have used several of them and they perform well.

Subject: [Icom] Good 2 meter antennas (wanted)

I sold my Icom T81A recently, which turned out to be a
big mistake. However, it appears that I am going to
get another one-yeah!! In my opinion, it is the best
HT yet made.  However, the Yaesu VX150 I was using for
a couple of weeks did seem to outperform it on 2
meters.  I think this is because the yaesu had a
dedicated 2 meter antenna, whereas the Icom has a 4
band antenna.  Can anyone recommend a good 2 meter
only or 2/70cm replacement antenna for the T81A that
does much better than the stock antenna?  Looking for
something not too large.  

Even better, does anyone have one for sale?
