Mag One VHF 136–155 MHz Whip Antenna

The Motorola PMAD4164A Mag One VHF 136–155 MHz Whip Antenna is designed to provide reliable VHF transmit and receive performance for compatible Motorola Mag One portable two-way radios.

Operating across the 136–155 MHz VHF frequency range, the PMAD4164A is specifically tuned for compatible radios operating within the lower portion of the commercial VHF band.

The flexible whip design provides a full-length antenna solution 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.

Its flexible construction also helps reduce stress on the antenna when it comes into contact with clothing, equipment, shelving, vehicle interiors, or other surrounding objects.

Compared with a compact stubby antenna, the whip configuration provides a longer antenna element and is an excellent choice for users who prioritize reliable radio communication and coverage over the smallest possible antenna profile.

The PMAD4164A is part of Motorola's Mag One accessory family and provides a genuine replacement or spare antenna for compatible VHF 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 businesses and organizations maintaining fleets of compatible Motorola radios.

Frequency Range

The PMAD4164A operates across:

136–155 MHz

This places the antenna within the VHF frequency band.

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

Compatible Radios

Motorola-documented compatibility includes:

• Motorola Mag One BPR50dX VHF

Additional established applications include:

• Motorola Mag One X10d VHF

• BearCom BC400D VHF

The PMAD4164A is designed for compatible VHF portable radios operating within the 136–155 MHz frequency range.

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

Flexible Whip Design

The PMAD4164A features a:

Flexible VHF Whip Antenna Design

The whip configuration provides a full-length 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 inside vehicles

• Used throughout extended work shifts

The flexible construction helps the antenna accommodate normal movement while the radio is being carried or used in the field.

Related Mag One VHF Antennas

Motorola offers two complementary VHF whip antennas within this Mag One radio family:

• PMAD4164A – VHF 136–155 MHz Whip Antenna

• PMAD4165A – VHF 152–174 MHz Whip Antenna

Selecting the correct antenna depends on the operating frequencies programmed into the radio.

For compatible radios operating primarily within 136–155 MHz, the PMAD4164A is the appropriate option.

For compatible radios operating primarily within 152–174 MHz, the PMAD4165A is the appropriate option.

Important

The PMAD4164A is a VHF whip antenna designed for operation from:

136–155 MHz

It is not a UHF antenna.

Do not select a portable radio 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 programmed operating frequencies.

Do not confuse the PMAD4164A with the similar PMAD4165A:

PMAD4164A = VHF 136–155 MHz Whip Antenna

PMAD4165A = VHF 152–174 MHz Whip Antenna

Although the two frequency ranges overlap slightly between 152–155 MHz, the appropriate antenna should be selected according to the radio's operating frequencies and Motorola's specified application.

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

The portable radio is not included.
