The ATU-16DS is a 3.5-inch UHF stubby antenna for two-way radio use on the Vertex VX-450 and EVX-530 series. It covers the UHF band (450-485 MHz) only and is sized as a compact, low-profile alternative to a standard 6-inch antenna. Browse more Motorola Accessories to complete your kit.
Who it's for
Choose the ATU-16DS when you need a shorter, lower-profile antenna for snag-prone or close-quarters work and your radio operates in the UHF band. If you already have reception issues with your standard 6-inch antenna, a stubby trades length for a smaller profile and may cause more issues, so confirm it suits your environment before switching. If you'd rather keep full length, the ATU-6D UHF 6 inch Antenna is the standard-length option.
Key features
- Compact profile: 3.5-inch stubby length is shorter and lower-profile than a standard 6-inch antenna.
- UHF band coverage: tuned for 450-485 MHz UHF operation only.
- Vertex VX-450 / EVX-530 fit: matched to the VX-450 and EVX-530 series radios.
- Verified model list: confirmed compatible across ten VX/ISVX and EVX/ISEVX models.
- Direct replacement: swaps in for the radio's existing antenna with no adapter.

Frequently Asked Questions
What antenna fits a Vertex VX-450 or VX-530 series radio?

Is the ATU-16DS a UHF or VHF antenna?
It is a UHF-only antenna. It will not work on VHF radios, so match the antenna band to your radio before installing.
Will a 3.5-inch stubby antenna reduce my radio's range?
A stubby antenna is shorter than a standard antenna. If you already have reception issues with your standard 6-inch antenna, switching to a stubby may cause more issues. Choose it for its compact profile rather than for added range.
