VHF Wideband Flexible Whip Antenna for XPR6000 Series (136–174 MHz, 21 cm) – FM Approved

The Motorola PMAD4088B is a genuine wideband VHF flexible whip antenna designed for compatible MOTOTRBO XPR6000 Series portable radios operating across the full 136–174 MHz VHF band. Its broad frequency coverage makes it a versatile replacement antenna for radio fleets using multiple VHF frequency segments.

At approximately 21 cm long, the full-length flexible whip design is engineered to provide dependable communication performance and improved range compared with a compact stubby antenna. Its one-piece finish, steel core and spiral-wound conductor help provide optimal radiation characteristics for professional radio communications.

Wideband Antenna Benefits

The PMAD4088B covers the complete 136–174 MHz VHF band, reducing the need to stock separate antennas for narrower VHF frequency segments. This makes it especially useful for mixed radio fleets and organizations operating on multiple licensed VHF frequencies.

Range and Performance

The full-length flexible whip design can provide improved communication range compared with a compact stubby antenna, particularly in rural areas, outdoor environments or fringe coverage locations.

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

Important GPS Information

The PMAD4088B is designed for VHF voice and data communication and does not include an integrated GPS antenna element. If GPS operation is required, confirm whether your radio needs a combination VHF/GPS antenna before purchasing.

Important Frequency Information

The PMAD4088B is designed specifically for VHF radios operating within the 136–174 MHz frequency range. It is not compatible with UHF, 700/800 MHz or 900 MHz radio configurations.

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.
