Reliable VHF Mobile Communications

The HAD4008A is optimized for radios operating specifically within the 150.8–162 MHz portion of the VHF band. Its 1/4-wave design provides dependable omnidirectional coverage for commercial vehicles, public-safety fleets, utilities, transportation operations and other mobile communication applications.

Permanent Through-Hole Installation

This antenna is intended for permanent installation through a suitable metal vehicle surface. Mounting the antenna near the center of a metal roof generally provides the best available ground plane and the most balanced signal pattern.

Professional installation is recommended to ensure proper mounting, weather sealing, cable routing and radio performance.

Radio Compatibility

The HAD4008A is compatible with select Motorola VHF mobile radios, including appropriately configured APX, MOTOTRBO and legacy Motorola mobile radio models.

Compatibility depends on the radio’s exact VHF frequency split and antenna connector. Verify that the radio operates between 150.8 and 162 MHz before ordering.

Important Frequency Notice

This antenna is designed only for operation from 150.8–162 MHz. It should not be substituted for antennas intended for lower or higher portions of the VHF band.

For systems operating from 162–174 MHz, the Motorola HAD4009A may be the appropriate alternative.

Non-GPS Antenna

The HAD4008A provides VHF radio-frequency performance only. It does not include an integrated GPS antenna. Radios requiring GPS operation need a compatible combination GPS/VHF antenna system.

Why Choose the Motorola HAD4008A?

The HAD4008A offers an OEM Motorola antenna solution with a precisely defined frequency range, compact 1/4-wave construction and permanent vehicle mounting. It is a practical choice for fleet operators who need reliable VHF coverage without integrated GPS functionality.
