ATU-6A UHF Flexible Whip Antenna for VX/EVX Radios
UHF 400–430 MHz • 6.5 in Length • Flexible Whip • UHF Only • VX & EVX Compatible
The ATU-6A UHF Flexible Whip Antenna is a 6.5-inch replacement antenna tuned for the UHF 400–430 MHz band, built for VX-260 Series, VX-450 Series, and EVX portable two-way radios. If your original whip is bent, damaged, or lost, the ATU-6A restores full transmit and receive performance — a genuine-fit antenna for crews who keep their commercial two-way radios running on the job.
Who It's For
Choose the ATU-6A if your VX or EVX radio operates in the 400–430 MHz UHF range and you want the standard flexible whip. Need a higher band? The ATU-6B covers 420–450 MHz. Want a lower-profile look? Step down to the ATU-20DS UHF stubby.
Key Features
UHF 400–430 MHz
Tuned for the UHF 400–430 MHz band so your VX or EVX radio transmits and receives at full strength on its rated frequency.
6.5-Inch Flexible Whip
The full 6.5-inch whip length helps maximize range, while the flexible build bends under stress instead of snapping on a busy shift.
Direct Replacement Fit
A like-for-like replacement for the standard antenna on VX-260 Series, VX-450 Series, and supported EVX radios — threads on and works.
UHF Frequency Only
Designed strictly for UHF radios — confirm your radio is a UHF model before ordering to keep performance on spec.
Compatible Radios
The ATU-6A 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. Always match the antenna band to your radio's UHF frequency for the cleanest signal.
If your radio operates higher in the UHF range, the ATU-6B (420–450 MHz) or the ATU-20DS UHF stubby (440–470 MHz) may be the better fit. Not sure which antenna your radio needs? Our Canadian radio experts can confirm the right match — call 1-800-984-1534 or contact us.

Frequently Asked Questions About the ATU-6A UHF Flexible Whip Antenna
• What frequency does the ATU-6A antenna cover?
The ATU-6A UHF Flexible Whip Antenna is tuned for the UHF 400–430 MHz band. It is a UHF-only antenna, so it should only be used on UHF radios operating in that range.
• Which radios is the ATU-6A compatible with?
The ATU-6A is compatible with the VX-260 Series, VX-450 Series, EVX-S24, EVX-261, and EVX-534 two-way radios. For models in a higher UHF range, consider the ATU-6B (420–450 MHz) instead.
• How long is the ATU-6A antenna?
The ATU-6A measures 6.5 inches long. The full whip length helps maximize range, and the flexible design bends under stress rather than breaking during a shift.
• What's the difference between the ATU-6A and the ATU-6B?
Both are UHF flexible whip antennas for VX and EVX radios. The ATU-6A is tuned for 400–430 MHz and measures 6.5 inches, while the ATU-6B covers the higher 420–450 MHz range and measures 6.1 inches. Match the antenna band to your radio's UHF frequency.
