ATU-6DS UHF Stubby Antenna: a low-profile 3.5 in antenna for two-way radios
Type: Stubby antenna · Length: 3.5 in · Band: UHF only (450–485 MHz)
The ATU-6DS is a low-profile 3.5 in UHF stubby antenna for two-way radios. If you want a more compact, lower-profile look than a standard-length antenna, this is the choice. It operates on UHF frequency only. Browse more Motorola Accessories.
Please note: a stubby antenna trades length for a lower profile. If you already have reception issues with your standard 6 inch antenna, switching to a stubby antenna may make those issues worse.
Who it's for
Choose the ATU-6DS when a low profile and compact size matter more than maximum antenna length. If range is your priority over size, a standard-length antenna may suit you better — see the ATU-6D UHF 6 inch Antenna.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do stubby antennas work?
Yes. A stubby antenna works as a low-profile, compact alternative to a standard antenna. The tradeoff is length, so if you already have reception issues with a standard 6 inch antenna, a stubby may not help and could make them worse.
Are stubby antennas any good?
They are a good choice when a low profile and compact size matter most. The ATU-6DS gives you that low-profile look on UHF frequency. If maximum range is your priority over size, a standard-length antenna may suit you better.
