Mag One UHF 450–470 MHz Stubby Antenna

The Motorola PMAE4118A Mag One UHF 450–470 MHz Stubby Antenna is a compact antenna designed to provide reliable UHF transmit and receive performance for compatible Motorola Mag One portable two-way radios.

Operating across the 450–470 MHz UHF frequency range, the PMAE4118A is specifically tuned for radios operating within this portion of the UHF band.

The stubby antenna design provides a shorter, lower-profile alternative to a traditional full-length whip antenna. Its compact construction makes the radio easier and more comfortable to carry, particularly when worn on a belt or used in environments where a longer antenna could catch on clothing, equipment, shelving, or other obstacles.

At approximately 3.5 inches (9 cm) in length, the PMAE4118A keeps the overall radio profile compact while providing the antenna performance required for compatible UHF radio applications.

The PMAE4118A is part of Motorola's Mag One accessory family, providing a genuine Motorola replacement or spare antenna for compatible portable radios.

Its low-profile construction makes it particularly well suited for retail, hospitality, security, education, warehousing, manufacturing, maintenance, property management, and other professional environments where users frequently carry their radios on a belt.

The PMAE4118A is also an excellent replacement for a lost, damaged, bent, or worn original antenna and can be kept as a spare for organizations maintaining fleets of compatible Motorola radios.

Frequency Range

The PMAE4118A operates across:

450–470 MHz

This places the antenna within the UHF frequency band.

The antenna should only be used with compatible UHF portable radios operating within the supported frequency range.

Compatible Radios

Documented applications include:

• Motorola Mag One BPR50dX

• Motorola Mag One X10d

• BearCom BC400D

The PMAE4118A is specifically designed for compatible radios operating within the 450–470 MHz UHF frequency range.

Always verify both the radio model and operating frequency before ordering a replacement antenna.

Stubby Antenna Design

The PMAE4118A features a:

Compact UHF Stubby Antenna Design

At approximately 3.5 inches / 9 cm long, the stubby configuration provides a lower-profile alternative to Motorola's longer whip antennas.

This makes the antenna particularly convenient when the radio is:

• Worn on a belt

• Carried on a work vest

• Used in warehouses or retail environments

• Used around machinery or equipment

• Carried through doorways and confined spaces

• Used throughout extended work shifts

The shorter profile helps reduce the likelihood of the antenna catching on clothing, equipment, shelving, or surrounding objects.

Related Mag One Antennas

Motorola offers several antennas within this Mag One radio family:

• PMAE4117 – UHF 400–470 MHz Whip Antenna

• PMAE4118 – UHF 450–470 MHz Stubby Antenna

• PMAE4119 – UHF 450–527 MHz Whip Antenna

• PMAD4164 – VHF 136–155 MHz Antenna

• PMAD4165 – VHF 152–174 MHz Whip Antenna

Selecting the correct antenna depends on both the radio model and its operating frequency range.

Important

The PMAE4118A is a UHF stubby antenna designed for operation from:

450–470 MHz

It is not a VHF antenna.

Do not select a portable radio antenna based solely on physical fit. The antenna must be designed for the radio's operating frequency range and compatible mounting system.

Do not confuse the PMAE4118A with the similar PMAE4119A:

PMAE4118A = UHF 450–470 MHz Stubby Antenna

PMAE4119A = UHF 450–527 MHz Whip Antenna

Always verify the radio model and programmed frequency range before ordering.

The portable radio is not included.
