Horizon will service a dead DX-5e (mine was new - dead in the box - so that may be a factor) but wont sell the Antenna or centering parts. I have traveled around to various hobby stores and they inevitable have a dead one they sell for a fraction of the cost. I have gutted all the dead ones I have found for the antenna and self centering arms and the switches. This radio is easy enough to work with and still my favorite,
