800 MHz Short Whip Antenna (806–870 MHz), FM/UL Approved

Equip a compatible Motorola MOTOTRBO portable radio with a compact, frequency-matched antenna using the Motorola PMAF4009A 800 MHz Short Whip Antenna.

Tuned for operation from 806 to 870 MHz, its approximately 12 cm design provides a lower-profile alternative to a full-length flexible whip antenna, making the radio more comfortable to carry and less likely to snag on clothing or equipment.

The PMAF4009A supports select FM/UL-approved radio configurations. Hazardous-location approval applies to the complete radio, battery and accessory combination—not to the antenna independently.

Key Features

• Genuine Motorola Solutions portable-radio antenna

• Tuned for the 806–870 MHz frequency range

• Designed for compatible 800 MHz MOTOTRBO radios

• Compact short-whip design

• Approximately 12 cm / 4.7 inches long

• Suitable for select FM/UL-approved configurations

• Direct replacement for a worn or damaged antenna

Compact 800 MHz Antenna

The PMAF4009A offers a shorter profile than Motorola’s full-length 800 MHz whip antenna. Its compact design is useful for employees who wear their radios on a belt or carry them in environments where a longer antenna may catch on clothing, equipment or nearby objects.

Tuned for 806–870 MHz

The antenna is specifically designed for compatible radios operating within the 806–870 MHz range. Using an antenna matched to the radio’s operating frequency helps support efficient transmission and reception.

This antenna should not be installed on VHF, UHF or 900 MHz radio models operating outside its specified range.

Compatible Radios

The PMAF4009A is compatible with select 800 MHz versions of Motorola radios, including:

• Motorola XPR 7380

• Motorola XPR 7380e

• Motorola XPR 7580

• Motorola XPR 7580e

• Select 800 MHz Motorola MOTOTRBO R7 models

• Select Motorola MOTOTRBO R7a configurations

• Equivalent regional MOTOTRBO models operating from 806–870 MHz

Compatibility depends on the radio’s frequency band and antenna connector. Confirm the radio’s complete model and operating range before ordering.

Short Whip vs. Full-Length Whip

Motorola offers multiple antenna options for compatible 800 MHz radios:

• PMAF4009A: Approximately 12 cm short whip for a compact carrying profile

• PMAF4011A: Approximately 16 cm flexible whip for users who prefer the full-length antenna design

The correct choice depends on the operating environment, carrying preference and approved radio configuration.

FM/UL Configuration Information

The PMAF4009A may be used as part of select Motorola FM- or UL-approved radio configurations.

Maintaining hazardous-location approval requires using the exact Motorola-approved combination of:

• Portable radio

• Battery

• Antenna

• Audio accessory

• Carrying accessory, when applicable

Substituting an unapproved component may invalidate the radio system’s hazardous-location certification. Confirm the complete approved configuration before use in a hazardous environment.

Important Frequency Information

Antenna selection must be based on the radio’s operating frequency—not solely on the radio family name. The XPR 7380 and XPR 7580 families are available in different frequency configurations that may require different antennas.

For compatible radios operating from 896–941 MHz, a 900 MHz antenna such as the PMAF4010A may be required instead.

When to Replace the Antenna

Replacement may be necessary if the existing antenna has:

• A cracked or split outer covering

• Permanent bends or deformation

• A loose mounting connection

• Damage near the antenna base

• Reduced range or intermittent performance

• Been lost during radio servicing

Inspect the radio’s antenna connector for damage before installing a replacement antenna.

Ideal Applications

• Manufacturing operations

• Utilities and field service

• Transportation and logistics

• Public-safety communications
