VHF Heliflex Antenna, 136-162 MHz

The Motorola HAD9338BR VHF 136–162 MHz Heliflex Antenna is a flexible replacement antenna designed to provide reliable VHF transmit and receive performance for compatible Motorola portable two-way radios.

Operating across the 136–162 MHz VHF frequency range, the HAD9338BR provides coverage across a broad portion of the commercial VHF band.

The antenna features a 14 cm Heliflex design, combining dependable radio performance with the flexibility needed for everyday portable-radio use.

Motorola describes its Heliflex antennas as being engineered for maximum output and excellent communication coverage, making the HAD9338BR a strong choice for users who prioritize dependable radio performance.

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

The flexible design also helps the antenna accommodate incidental contact with clothing, equipment, shelving, vehicle interiors, and other surrounding objects.

The HAD9338BR is an excellent replacement for a lost, damaged, bent, or worn original antenna and can also be kept as a spare for businesses and organizations maintaining fleets of compatible Motorola portable radios.

Heliflex Antenna Design

The HAD9338BR features a:

14 cm VHF Heliflex Antenna

The Heliflex configuration provides a flexible antenna solution designed for dependable portable-radio communications.

Motorola describes Heliflex antennas as being engineered for maximum output and strong communication coverage.

The flexible configuration makes the antenna convenient 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 construction allows the antenna to accommodate normal movement and incidental contact during everyday professional use.

Broad VHF Coverage

One of the primary advantages of the HAD9338BR is its broad:

136–162 MHz VHF frequency range

This allows the antenna to cover a substantial portion of the commercial VHF band while maintaining a flexible Heliflex design.

For organizations maintaining compatible VHF radio fleets, the HAD9338BR can provide a useful replacement or spare antenna when the radios operate within the supported frequency range.

Important

The HAD9338BR is a VHF Heliflex antenna designed for operation from:

136–162 MHz

It is not a UHF 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 programmed operating frequencies.

Do not confuse the HAD9338BR with the HAD9742A:

HAD9338BR = VHF 136–162 MHz Heliflex Antenna

HAD9742A = VHF 146–162 MHz Stubby Antenna

The HAD9338BR provides a longer, flexible Heliflex configuration, while the HAD9742A provides a shorter stubby design.

Always verify the radio model and operating frequency before ordering.

The portable radio is not included.
