ATU-6DS UHF 3.5 in Stubby Antenna
Stubby Antenna • UHF 450–485 MHz • Low-Profile 3.5 in • For Vertex Standard VX & EVX Radios
The ATU-6DS UHF 3.5 in Stubby Antenna is a compact, low-profile replacement antenna covering the UHF 450–485 MHz band. At just 3.5 inches, it trims the bulk of a standard 6-inch whip so your radio sits closer to the body and snags less on gear. If you want a cleaner, lower-profile look and your coverage is solid, this is the antenna to grab. Browse more business two-way radios and accessories to round out your fleet.
