UHF Stubby Helical Antenna

Low-Profile, High-Performance Communication for Belt-Worn Radios

The Motorola PMAE4006 is a professional-grade UHF stubby antenna designed for operators who prioritize mobility and discretion. Measuring just 9cm (3.5 inches) in length, this helical antenna is optimized for the 465–495 MHz frequency range. The stubby design is specifically engineered to be non-obtrusive, making it the ideal choice for security personnel, hospitality staff, and tactical teams who wear their radios on a belt or concealed under a jacket.

Constructed with a durable helical core and a rugged outer sleeve, the Motorola PMAE4006 provides reliable signal integrity while significantly reducing the snagging and poking associated with full-length whip antennas. The stud-style mounting ensures a secure, vibration-proof connection to the radio chassis, maintaining consistent performance in demanding physical environments. Whether you are managing a warehouse or conducting field operations, this antenna delivers the perfect balance of compact form and UHF wideband performance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why choose a stubby antenna over a whip antenna? Stubby antennas like the PMAE4006 are significantly shorter, which provides better comfort for belt-worn radios and prevents the antenna from snagging. However, they may have a slightly reduced range compared to a full-length whip in very weak signal areas.

Is this antenna compatible with the R2 series? While the R2 uses a similar mount, you should verify your specific frequency plan, as the R2 is often paired with newer wideband antennas. The PMAE4006 is specifically optimized for the 465–495 MHz range.

Does this antenna support GPS? No. The PMAE4006 is a voice-only antenna and does not include an integrated GPS element.
