UHF/GPS Folded Monopole Whip Antenna (450–495 MHz) – FM Approved

The Motorola PMAE4050A is a genuine combination UHF/GPS folded monopole antenna designed for compatible MOTOTRBO portable radios operating between 450 and 495 MHz. Its full-length whip design is engineered to maximize communication range while maintaining access to GPS signals on properly equipped radios.

The rugged, capless construction provides greater flexibility and durability for demanding professional environments. At approximately 5.5 inches long, this antenna can provide better signal performance than a compact stubby antenna, particularly when communicating across longer distances or through a repeater system.

The PMAE4050A is approved for use with select FM intrinsically safe Motorola radio configurations. Intrinsic-safety approval applies only when the antenna is installed as part of a complete, properly certified radio system.

Range and Performance

The PMAE4050A uses a full-length folded monopole design intended to maximize UHF communication range. A whip antenna may provide better performance than a stubby antenna, especially in fringe coverage areas or when communicating through a repeater system.

Actual communication range depends on terrain, buildings, system configuration, radio power and operating frequency.

GPS Information

The PMAE4050A provides access to GPS signals when installed on a compatible GPS-equipped Motorola radio. The antenna will not add GPS functionality to a radio that does not already contain the necessary GPS hardware and programming.

Important Frequency Information

The PMAE4050A is designed specifically for radios operating within the 450–495 MHz frequency range. Using an antenna outside the radio’s programmed frequency range may reduce communication performance.

Verify your radio model and operating frequencies before purchasing.

FM Intrinsic-Safety Information

This antenna may be used with select FM-approved Motorola portable radios. The antenna itself does not make a standard radio intrinsically safe.

To maintain FM intrinsic-safety certification, every component—including the radio, battery, antenna and connected accessories—must be approved for use together under the applicable certification standard.

Ideal Applications

• Public safety communications

• Oil and gas facilities

• Utilities and infrastructure

• Manufacturing plants

• Chemical processing facilities

• Construction operations
