Deans based laoded whips are discontinued. What else has been tried? Does anyone use any of these: http://www.hobby-lobby.com/antennas.htm?

I've used several, on both single conversion and dual conversion receivers. The bottom line I got using them was that if your'e having trouble with a receiver glitching, they probably won't fix it. But used on any receiver that was established as reliable, I didn't notice any reduction in control or range, not that I fly very far away anyway.

Ed' I've used the "Azarr" antennas and like them a lot. E-cubed RC is the company, try a google search and you should find them. ONE WARNING, I've had some antennas with little plug-in pin connectors to attach them to a stub of the original antenna wire coming out of the RX, if you have a wing-mounted RX like I use, with the antenna wire strung along the wing surface, wing flex from tight turns, or an impact, can cause the pin to pull out! I've started putting slack in the antenna wire to help avoid that.
