UHF 403–520 MHz Flexible Whip Antenna

The Motorola PMAE4016A UHF 403–520 MHz Flexible Whip Antenna is a wideband replacement antenna designed to provide reliable UHF transmit and receive performance for compatible Motorola portable two-way radios.

Operating across the broad 403–520 MHz UHF frequency range, the PMAE4016A provides extensive frequency coverage for compatible Motorola radios operating throughout the commercial UHF band.

The flexible whip design measures approximately 17 cm (6.7 inches) in length and provides a longer antenna element than compact stubby antenna alternatives.

Its flexible construction allows the antenna to bend during normal movement, helping improve comfort when the portable radio is worn on a belt, carried on a vest, or used throughout an active workday.

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

Because of its broad frequency coverage, the PMAE4016A is a versatile antenna option for compatible Motorola UHF portable radios and is particularly useful for organizations operating radio fleets across different portions of the UHF band.

The PMAE4016A is an excellent replacement for a lost, damaged, bent, or worn original antenna and can also be kept as a spare for organizations maintaining compatible Motorola portable radios.

Frequency Range

The PMAE4016A operates across:

403–520 MHz

This places the antenna within the UHF frequency band.

Motorola describes the PMAE4016 as a wideband antenna designed to provide coverage across the UHF frequency range.

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

Compatible Radios

Documented applications include:

• Motorola CP100d

• Motorola CP150

• Motorola CP200

• Motorola CP200d

• Motorola DP1400

• Motorola HT750

• Motorola HT1250

• Motorola HT1550

• Motorola PR400

• Select additional compatible Motorola UHF portable radios

The PMAE4016A is particularly common as a replacement antenna for the Motorola CP100d and CP200d UHF platforms.

Always verify both the portable radio model and operating frequency before ordering an antenna.

Flexible Whip Design

The PMAE4016A features a:

17 cm / 6.7-Inch Flexible UHF Whip Antenna

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 inside vehicles

• Used throughout extended work shifts

The flexible design also helps reduce the likelihood of damage if the antenna comes into contact with clothing, equipment, shelving, or surrounding objects.

Wideband UHF Coverage

One of the primary advantages of the PMAE4016A is its broad frequency coverage.

The antenna supports:

403–520 MHz UHF

This makes it a versatile antenna option compared with antennas designed for narrower frequency ranges such as 403–470 MHz, 450–470 MHz, or 490–527 MHz.

The radio itself must still operate within the antenna's supported frequency range.

Important

The PMAE4016A is a UHF flexible whip antenna designed for operation from:

403–520 MHz

It is not a VHF antenna.

Do not select a portable radio antenna based solely on physical fit. Antennas are designed for specific frequency ranges, and the antenna should match both the radio platform and its operating band.

The PMAE4016A should only be installed on compatible Motorola UHF portable radios.

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

The portable radio is not included.
