Mag One UHF 400–470 MHz Flexible Whip Antenna

The Motorola PMAE4117A Mag One UHF 400–470 MHz Flexible Whip Antenna is designed to provide reliable UHF transmit and receive performance for compatible Motorola Mag One portable two-way radios.

Operating across the broad 400–470 MHz UHF frequency range, the PMAE4117A provides coverage across the standard commercial UHF band supported by compatible radio models.

The flexible whip design provides a longer antenna element than compact stubby antennas while remaining flexible enough to bend during normal movement. This helps improve comfort when the portable radio is worn on a belt, carried on a vest, or used throughout an active workday.

The flexible construction also helps reduce stress on the antenna and radio connection when the antenna comes into contact with clothing, equipment, doorways, shelving, or other objects.

For users who prioritize radio coverage and communication performance over the smallest possible antenna profile, the PMAE4117A provides an excellent alternative to a shorter stubby antenna.

The PMAE4117A is part of Motorola's Mag One accessory family and provides a genuine replacement or spare antenna for compatible UHF portable radios.

It is particularly useful as a replacement for a lost, damaged, bent, or worn original antenna and can also be kept as a spare for organizations maintaining fleets of compatible Motorola radios.

Frequency Range

The PMAE4117A operates across:

400–470 MHz

This places the antenna within the UHF frequency band.

Its broad 400–470 MHz coverage makes it suitable for compatible UHF radios operating throughout this frequency range.

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

Compatible Radios

Documented applications include:

• Motorola Mag One BPR50dX

• Motorola Mag One X10d

• BearCom BC400D

The PMAE4117A is designed for compatible UHF portable radios operating within the 400–470 MHz frequency range.

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

Flexible Whip Design

The PMAE4117A features a:

Flexible UHF Whip Antenna Design

The longer whip configuration provides a full-size antenna solution while its flexible construction allows the antenna to bend during normal movement.

This can improve comfort and durability when the radio is:

• Worn on a belt

• Carried on a work vest

• Used while walking

• Used while climbing or bending

• Carried around machinery or equipment

• Used throughout extended work shifts

The flexible design also helps reduce the likelihood of damage if the antenna catches against clothing, equipment, shelving, or surrounding objects.

Related Mag One Antennas

Motorola offers several antenna options within this Mag One radio family:

• PMAE4117 – UHF 400–470 MHz Flexible 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 portable radio model and its operating frequency range.

Important

The PMAE4117A is a UHF flexible whip antenna designed for operation from:

400–470 MHz

It is not a VHF antenna.

Do not select an antenna based solely on physical fit. Portable radio antennas are tuned for specific frequency ranges, and the antenna should match both the radio platform and its operating band.

Do not confuse the PMAE4117A with the similar PMAE4118A or PMAE4119A:

PMAE4117A = UHF 400–470 MHz Flexible Whip Antenna

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.
