ATV-8B VHF 6 in Antenna
VHF 150–163 MHz • 6 in Whip • OEM Replacement • VHF Only • VX & EVX Series
The ATV-8B VHF 6 in Antenna is the standard replacement whip antenna that ships with the radio, tuned for the VHF 150–163 MHz band. If your original 6-inch antenna is bent, broken, or worn, the ATV-8B restores full-range VHF reception on your Vertex Standard VX-series and EVX-series portable — a genuine-fit accessory for fleets running commercial two-way radios.
Who It's For
Built for operators running VHF (150–163 MHz) Vertex Standard VX or EVX portables who need an exact-fit replacement whip. Running UHF radios instead? Choose a UHF antenna such as the ATU-6C UHF flexible whip. Want a lower profile on the same radios? See the shorter ATV-6C VHF 3.43 in antenna.
