Description

Compact 3.5-Inch UHF Helical Antenna with SMA Connector

Equip your portable radio with a low-profile, non-obtrusive antenna designed to prevent uniform snagging.

The Hytera AN0485H05 UHF Stubby Antenna is a professional-grade, high-durability helical antenna engineered for portable two-way radios operating within the 450–520MHz UHF frequency band. At just 3.5 inches (9cm) in length, this compact antenna delivers reliable physical resilience and consistent RF performance while maintaining a low profile. It is built with an integrated helical brass core that ensures optimal conductivity and structural memory, preventing permanent bends or structural failure during intense field operations.

This non-obtrusive stubby antenna is the ideal alternative to long whip antennas for tactical public safety units, construction crews, and warehouse workers who wear their radios directly on a duty belt or tactical vest. By reducing the overall physical profile of the transceiver, the antenna effectively minimizes the risk of catching or snagging on gear, clothing, or confined structural elements. Outfitted with a standard SMA connector (female), this RoHS-compliant antenna provides a completely secure physical and electrical link to the radio chassis.

Key Features & Benefits

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Hytera AN0485H05 antenna flexible?

Yes. This antenna is engineered with a flexible helical brass core enclosed in a durable injection-molded housing, allowing it to bend and return to its original shape safely.

Will this antenna work on standard VHF radio systems?

No. The AN0485H05 is exclusively rated for the 450–520MHz UHF frequency band and will not function or provide proper resonance on VHF radio platforms.

Does this stubby design provide the same range as a long whip antenna?

Stubby antennas excel at portability and reducing snags, but they may experience a minor drop in maximum line-of-sight coverage compared to full-length whip options in remote areas.
