I picked up a Texas Star DX399 for around $200 from G.I.Joes. It is working well for me with my Uniden 68xl (I'm pretty sure that it is the same radio as you 25)

When conditions in the atmosphere are right so radio signals bounce (skip) off the ionosphere for long distance (dx) communication. You'll know its rolling when you hear a bunch of people from other states on your radio.
