ATV-6B VHF 3.5-Inch Stubby Antenna: Low-Profile Whip for Vertex Portables
VHF only · 150–163 MHz · 3.5 in length · Stubby antenna · 2Way Radio Solutions
The ATV-6B is a short, 3.5-inch VHF stubby antenna built for a low-profile look on compatible two-way radios. It covers the 150–163 MHz VHF band only and is not a UHF antenna. Browse more compatible parts in Motorola Accessories.
Who it's for
Choose the ATV-6B if you want a more discreet, lower-profile antenna than a standard 6-inch whip on a compatible Vertex portable. Note: if you already experience reception issues with a standard 6-inch antenna, switching to a shorter stubby may make those issues worse, so weigh profile against reception for your use. If your radio runs on UHF, see the ATU-6DS UHF 3.5 in Stubby Antenna instead.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a stubby antenna?
A stubby antenna is a shorter antenna chosen for a lower, more compact profile on a portable radio. The ATV-6B is 3.5 inches. A shorter antenna trades length for a cleaner profile, which on the margins can affect reception versus a longer standard antenna.
What frequency range does the ATV-6B cover?
The ATV-6B is VHF frequency only and is rated for 150–163 MHz. It is not a UHF antenna. Confirm your radio operates within this VHF range before ordering.
Which radios are compatible with the ATV-6B antenna?
It is listed as compatible with these two-way radios: VX-160, VX-180, VX-231, VX-351, VX-354, VX-414, VX-417, VX-424, VX-427, VX-921, VX-924, VX-929, VX-261, VX-264, and EVX-261. If your model is not listed, contact us to confirm fit.
Does a shorter VHF antenna reduce range?
A shorter stubby antenna is chosen for a lower profile. If you already have reception issues with a standard 6-inch antenna, switching to the shorter stubby may make those issues worse, so weigh profile against reception for your use.
How do I know if I need a VHF or UHF antenna?
Match the antenna to your radio's frequency band. The ATV-6B is a VHF antenna (150–163 MHz). If your radio runs on UHF, this is not the correct antenna. If you are unsure which band your radio uses, contact us.
