Combined Radio and Location Coverage

The RAD4216B combines a VHF communication antenna and multi-constellation satellite antenna into one vehicle-mounted assembly. It supports two-way voice and data communication while providing GNSS reception for compatible radio location and tracking features.

This combination design creates a cleaner installation and requires less vehicle mounting space than separate VHF and GPS antennas.

Reliable 1/4-Wave VHF Performance

The antenna’s 1/4-wave design produces an omnidirectional signal pattern that provides balanced communication coverage around the vehicle. This makes it well suited for urban, suburban and varied-terrain environments.

Its frequency-specific design is optimized for radios operating between 150.8 and 162 MHz, making proper frequency matching essential.

Multi-Constellation GNSS Reception

The RAD4216B supports multiple global navigation satellite systems, including:

• GPS

• Galileo

• QZSS

• GLONASS

Multi-constellation support can improve satellite availability for compatible radio location, fleet-monitoring and tracking applications.

Permanent Through-Hole Installation

The RAD4216B is designed for permanent installation through a suitable metal vehicle roof or trunk surface. Mounting near the center of a metal roof generally provides the strongest available ground plane and the most consistent radio performance.

Professional installation is recommended to ensure correct placement, weather sealing, cable routing and connector installation.

Radio Compatibility

The RAD4216B is compatible with select GPS/GNSS-capable Motorola VHF mobile radios that operate within the supported frequency range and use the appropriate Mini-UHF connection.

Compatibility depends on:

• The radio’s exact VHF frequency split

• GPS or GNSS capability

• Antenna connector type

• Radio programming and location-service configuration

Confirm all compatibility requirements before ordering.

Why Choose the Motorola RAD4216B?

The RAD4216B combines frequency-specific VHF communications and multi-constellation satellite reception in one professional antenna system. It is an excellent choice for fleets requiring reliable 150.8–162 MHz coverage and vehicle location reporting without installing separate antennas.
