Range and Performance

The PMAD4069C uses a full-length helical whip design intended to provide dependable VHF communication performance. It may offer improved range compared with a compact stubby antenna, especially in rural areas, outdoor environments or fringe coverage locations.

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

GPS Information

The PMAD4069C supports GPS reception when installed on a compatible GPS-equipped Motorola radio. Radios without integrated GPS can still use the antenna for VHF communications, but the antenna will not add GPS capability to the radio.

Important Frequency Information

The PMAD4069C is designed specifically for VHF radios operating within the 160–174 MHz frequency range. It is not compatible with radios programmed exclusively below 160 MHz or with UHF radio models.

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.
