You can't buy a replacement antenna in the US, but you can overseas. This is where I got mine:

That Spektrum antenna will not work with the surface system. We had a customer at our local shop who needed one for an older DX3; I was hesitant so I called Horizon to verify and was told that it will not function. The base of the mount is substantialy larger as well.

Of course they recommend that you send it in for repair, but the turn around time is insane. The antenna in K's link is correct and will work just fine.

Both those antennas will work with the DX3R but the BCX antenna needs a slight modification, basically it needs the base pulled apart. It just unclips from the inside.

I dont remember which specktrum air antenna doesnt work with the older DX3 radios (I think its the DX5e) but the reason is because the cable is to short to reach on the inside of the radio.
