It's a rubber boot covering the spring on the antennae mount. The boots wear out fairly quickly.

It`s a rubber insulation for the Harris HF antenna. You can use the antenna from AFV Club M1130 CV.

Looking to identify the weird, accordion looking, antenna circled on the image. Don’t care what it does, just trying to get enough information to scratch build it.
Thanks.

It looks like it's just a plastic guard for the flex mount on for the whip antenna
Edit: ... or rubber...
