Cell phone antenna on a 1996

I'm looking for the factory cell antenna that came on the 90's models. Mine is a 1996 U295-36. Someone unscrewed it from the base, so I just need the antenna
Thanks

Dan I have been doing a bit of research on cell antenna and boosters.  You may want to do some checking before going to the effort to get the original antenna,  I'm not sure it would Wouk with a newer cell phone
Just my thought

You might want to go to a newer antenna, pretty sure frequencies have changed in the last 24 years.
The new antennas do not look like the coiled spring ones in the 90's

Dan, I agree with Chris and Jim. I researched the usefulness of the factory cell antenna and determined there's no good reason to keep them. That being said, if you still want one, I have the two I removed from our coach. You're welcome to them. Soon to be scrapped, but I'll save the SS ground planes for stock.

Thanks. I just want to put it back on, not use it.
