ATU-6D UHF 6 inch Antenna
UHF Only • 450–485 MHz • 6 Inch Whip • Standard Replacement Antenna
The ATU-6D UHF 6 inch Antenna is the standard replacement whip antenna that ships with the radio, tuned for the 450–485 MHz UHF range. If your original 6 inch antenna is bent, broken, or lost, the ATU-6D restores full-length performance — a quick, low-cost fix to keep your commercial two-way radio transmitting and receiving cleanly.
Who It's For
Anyone running a UHF radio on the 450–485 MHz band who needs a genuine full-length replacement whip. Want a lower-profile look instead? Step down to the ATU-20DS UHF Stubby Antenna. On a different UHF sub-band? See the ATU-6A (400–430 MHz) or ATU-6B (420–450 MHz).
