Yes there is a replacement but if you have an old 102 inch stainless steel whip laying around, just cut it to the same length as the top I-Max whip was and screw it on. Now you're back on the air with a stronger antenna.
Lol. Lets see ya break that one!!! That's the first time I've ever heard of the top whip breaking on a I-Max.

There was a bad production run of them where they drilled the threads too deep in the second section and it wiggles since its not a good fit.
Solarcon should replace it if im not mistaken. |

Tech 833 notes: It's the same thing.

Put a mobile spring on it to and then you'll have a REAL conversation piece.But be careful,the sun glinting off the chrome might be a hazard to low flying aircraft. |

I forgot to mention that there will be less of a wind load on it also since the SS 102 is much thinner.
