ATU-6C UHF Flexible Whip Antenna for VX/EVX Radios
UHF 440–470 MHz • 5.9 in Length • Flexible Whip • UHF Only • VX/EVX Replacement
The ATU-6C UHF Flexible Whip Antenna is a 5.9-inch replacement antenna built for Vertex Standard VX-series and EVX-series portable two-way radios operating on UHF frequencies from 440 to 470 MHz. If your stock antenna is cracked, bent, or missing, the ATU-6C restores reliable UHF reception and transmit range so your business two-way radio performs the way it should.
Who It's For
Choose the ATU-6C if you run UHF VX-260, VX-450, EVX-261, EVX-534, or EVX-S24 radios and need a flexible full-length whip on the 440–470 MHz band. Need a shorter, lower-profile option instead? See the ATU-6DS UHF Stubby Antenna. Running a different UHF band? The ATU-16F UHF Antenna (470–520 MHz) covers the higher range, and VHF users should look at the ATV-8B VHF Antenna.
Key Features
UHF 440–470 MHz
Tuned for the UHF band from 440 to 470 MHz — matched to the operating range of compatible VX and EVX portables.
Flexible 5.9 in Whip
A 5.9-inch flexible whip design flexes under impact and rough handling instead of snapping, for dependable everyday use.
Direct Replacement
Threads straight onto compatible VX-series and EVX-series radios — restore full UHF range without tools or adapters.
UHF Only
Designed exclusively for UHF radios. Confirm your radio operates on UHF before ordering — this antenna will not tune VHF models.
Compatible Radios
The ATU-6C UHF Flexible Whip Antenna is compatible with these UHF two-way radios: VX-260 Series, VX-450 Series, EVX-S24, EVX-261, and EVX-534. It is a UHF-only antenna on the 440–470 MHz band — verify that your radio is the UHF version before ordering, since VHF models require a different antenna such as the ATV-6C VHF Antenna.
