Frequently Asked Questions
Is this antenna interchangeable with other Motorola portables?
No. The PMAD4165A is factory-tuned exclusively for the Motorola BPR50dX. Using it on another model may reduce range and audio quality.
Why choose a whip over a stubby antenna?
The 5.2-inch whip is a full quarter-wave radiator, giving stronger signal coverage and fewer dead spots than shorter stubby options—ideal for large or obstructed sites.
Does this antenna include GPS or data capability?
No. It is a standard voice-band VHF antenna without integrated GPS or broadband data elements.
