Mag One UHF 450–470 MHz Stubby Antenna for BPR40

The Motorola PMAE4020AR Mag One UHF 450–470 MHz Stubby Antenna is a compact replacement antenna designed for the Motorola Mag One BPR40 UHF portable two-way radio.

Operating across the 450–470 MHz UHF frequency range, the PMAE4020AR is specifically tuned for compatible BPR40 radios operating within this portion of the UHF band.

The stubby antenna design provides a compact, low-profile alternative to longer whip antennas. At approximately 3.5 inches in length, the PMAE4020AR helps keep the overall radio profile small and comfortable when the BPR40 is worn on a belt or carried throughout the workday.

Its shorter profile is particularly useful in environments where a longer antenna could catch on clothing, equipment, shelving, vehicle interiors, or other surrounding objects.

The PMAE4020AR is the standard UHF antenna associated with the Motorola Mag One BPR40 and provides a direct replacement for a lost, damaged, bent, or worn original antenna.

The compact design makes it particularly well suited for retail, hospitality, security, education, maintenance, property management, warehousing, manufacturing, and other professional environments where users carry their radios throughout an entire shift.

Organizations maintaining fleets of Motorola BPR40 radios can also keep the PMAE4020AR on hand as a spare replacement antenna to quickly return radios to service when an original antenna becomes damaged or lost.

Frequency Range

The PMAE4020AR operates across:

450–470 MHz

This places the antenna within the UHF frequency band.

The antenna should be used with compatible Motorola BPR40 UHF radios operating within the supported frequency range.

Compatible Radios

Documented compatibility includes:

• Motorola Mag One BPR40 UHF

• Motorola Mag One BPR40d UHF

The PMAE4020AR is particularly associated with the BPR40 platform and is commonly supplied as the standard antenna with the UHF version of the radio.

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

Stubby Antenna Design

The PMAE4020AR features a:

Compact 3.5-Inch UHF Stubby Antenna Design

The shorter configuration provides a lower-profile alternative to a traditional full-length whip antenna.

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 inside vehicles

• Used in confined spaces

• Carried throughout extended work shifts

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

Important

The PMAE4020AR is a UHF stubby antenna designed for operation from:

450–470 MHz

It is not a VHF antenna.

The PMAE4020AR is primarily designed for the Motorola Mag One BPR40 UHF radio platform.

For the VHF version of the BPR40, a different antenna is required.

Do not select a portable radio antenna based solely on physical fit. The antenna must match both the radio platform and its operating frequency range.

Also, do not confuse the PMAE4020AR with the newer PMAE4118A:

PMAE4020AR = 450–470 MHz Stubby Antenna for BPR40

PMAE4118A = 450–470 MHz Stubby Antenna for BPR50dX / newer Mag One platforms

Although both antennas cover the same 450–470 MHz frequency range, they are associated with different Motorola radio platforms.

Always verify the radio model before ordering.

The portable radio is not included.
