Frequently Asked Questions
Will a stubby affect my range?
Stubby antennas trade a bit of edge‑of‑coverage performance for a compact size. If you need maximum reach, consider a short whip and keep this stubby for tight or hazardous spaces.
How do I know if 440–490 MHz is right for me?
Match the antenna band to your radio’s UHF band plan. If your Ion is programmed in the 440–490 MHz range, this is the correct antenna family.
Is the PMAE4070 approved for hazardous locations?
Yes. It is Intrinsically Safe to TIA‑4950 standards. Always follow your site safety officer’s guidance.
