ATU-6D UHF 6 Inch Antenna: factory-spec replacement whip for Vertex VX-series radios (450-485 MHz)
UHF only · 450-485 MHz · 6-inch whip · Replacement antenna · Fits 11 listed VX/EVX models
The ATU-6D is the 6-inch UHF replacement antenna that originally ships with the radio, so it drops straight in when your factory whip is damaged, worn, or lost. Tuned for the 450-485 MHz UHF band, it restores full transmit and receive range without re-tuning. Browse more compatible parts in EVX-S24 Accessories.
Who it's for
This antenna is for owners of a listed UHF Vertex VX-series or EVX-261 radio operating in the 450-485 MHz range who need an exact-match replacement for the original 6-inch whip. It is not suitable for VHF radios, or any radio whose operating frequency falls outside 450-485 MHz; if you are unsure whether your radio is UHF or VHF, contact us before ordering. Need a shorter profile instead? See the ATU-6DS UHF 3.5 in Stubby Antenna.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a UHF antenna?
A UHF antenna is an antenna tuned for the Ultra High Frequency band. The ATU-6D is a UHF antenna covering 450-485 MHz, so it is designed to work only on UHF radios within that range.
What frequency range does the ATU-6D UHF antenna cover?
The ATU-6D covers 450-485 MHz. It is a UHF-only antenna and is not designed for frequencies outside that range.
Is the ATU-6D compatible with the Motorola EVX-S24?
This product is tagged for EVX-S24 accessories, but the radios explicitly listed as compatible are the VX-231, VX-261, VX-264, VX-351, VX-354, VX-414, VX-417, VX-821, VX-824, VX-829, and EVX-261. To confirm fit on an EVX-S24 or any model not listed, please contact us before ordering.
Can you use a UHF antenna on a VHF radio?
No. The ATU-6D is a UHF-only antenna (450-485 MHz) and is not intended for VHF radios. Match the antenna band to your radio's band.
How do I know if my radio needs a UHF or VHF antenna?
Check your radio's operating frequency band - UHF and VHF antennas are not interchangeable. The ATU-6D is for UHF radios in the 450-485 MHz range. If you are unsure, contact us to confirm before ordering.
