V08 TUNED Stubby 800 Antenna for Motorola APX4000 APX8000 MTX850 VISAR XTS3500

Description: 5.30.22 update ***SEE Pandemic Shipping / Delivery Information Below*** V08 Portable Radio Antenna Fine-Tuned Stubby Helical Antenna For Maximum Performance only in the 800 MHz Radio Band If you are seriously looking for more performance with a low antenna profile for the 800 MHz band using a Motorola portable radio you are in the right place with our unique V08 antenna. Our antenna consistently outperforms OEM and other aftermarket mass produced portable antennas. Each of our antennas is fine-tuned by hand to deliver absolute maximum communications performance with real certified results over a specific and guaranteed frequency range. This antenna does not have GPS capability. This listing is for one antenna that was purchased new from a known-brand with recognized excellent quality and durable construction. We then disassemble and alter the antenna element with custom fine tuning using lab grade test equipment to obtain a higher performance level across a specific frequency range. Our antenna is first class “Like, Kind, Quality” (LKQ) as the original known-brand antenna with an added outstanding high performance level. Please be absolutely certain that your portable radio communications are only in the 800 MHz band since in many US states this band has become very congested and the 700 MHz Expansion Band is now being used in combination with the 800 MHz band which would then require our V07+, 95A (with GPS) or 95N antennas that cover the combined 700/800 MHz bands. If you have any doubt please contact us for assistance before placing your order. The 800 MHz band has been the main frequency range used for Police, Fire, Rescue, and Public Safety Trunked/Conventional radio systems in the USA. Our antenna will cover all of the 800 MHz frequencies as published in the US Homeland Security “National Interop Field Operations Guide” (NIFOG book), US FEMA interop radio channels, and all Statewide Radio Systems that have rebanded (courtesy of Nextel) into the rebanded 800 MHz frequency ranges. All standard OEM and aftermarket antennas are mass produced with non-certified “GE” (good enough) or “So-So” performance somewhere in the 600 to 900 MHz frequency ranges. Many users have replaced their standard known-9 to 10 inch long antennas that poke them in their side or get caught on the vehicle seat belt with our V08 stubby antenna with outstanding long term results. Note: a BIGGER antenna is usually Not any better, JUST REALLY BIG! Your antenna will have an excellent VSWR match across the 806-862 MHz Public Safety frequency range for true high performance and communications range and will ignore all other frequencies outside of the 800 band that may cause interference. The portable radio or remote speaker mic shown in the photos are for reference only and are not included. This antenna is fine tuned to only operate on the specific tuned frequency range listed and will not operate at all in the Vhf, UHF, GPS, or 700 MHz radio bands. This antenna fits and is compatible with the following Motorola portable radio models that operate in the 800 MHz radio bands; All APX series, APX900, APX1000, APX3000, APX4000, APX6000, APX6000A, APX6000B, APX6000Li, APX6000XE, APX7000, APX7000L, APX7000XE, APX8000. All ASTRO Series, XTS1500, XTS2500, XTS3000, XTS3500, XTS3500R, XTS5000, and XTS5000R. And GTX, HT1000, JT1000, LTS2000, MT1500, MT2000, MTS2000, MTX, MTX-LS, MTX838, MTX850, MTX850-LS, MTX8000, MTX8250, MTX8250-LS, SRX2200, STX, VISAR, XPR6380, XPR6580. The antenna will also work great on top of any Public Safety Speaker Microphone (PSM or PSSM) that requires an antenna with a real SMA RF connection to be used on the microphone housing. This 800 MHz band antenna will not operate at all in the Vhf, UHF U1, UHF U2, or 700 MHz bands that some APX multi-band models may use. Our V08 antenna performance is real and certified. Known-brand portable radios are not cheap and you should not limit their performance with poor quality, unknown, or mass produced antennas. Our challenge: have your existing known-or aftermarket antenna tested by a qualified radio shop for “VSWR/Return Loss” and “Overall Performance” to compare apples for apples. Our performance is certified and graphed as shown in the photos. The bottom of our V08 antenna connector has a green SMA insulator color and a single red stripe across the bottom face for easy identification of our custom high performance 800 MHz band tuning.

Highly Recommend this 5 star seller! ~ Super performance long range and best short antenna I ever bought ~ These antenna out perform any other stubby out there, well worth it ~ GLAD I FOUND!! Very professional, know what they are talking about! Why continue to operate with an ordinary mass produced portable radio antenna with an unknown performance When you can STEP UP to the TRUE LEVEL of Portable Antenna Performance Right Now! Unleash the full potential of your portable radio with our Custom tuned antenna! For a Very HIGH Performance & Quality Antenna just use the “Buy It Right Now” feature! Our tests include the antenna checked in three positions; on a portable held in hand in front of the user’s mouth, on a portable using a belt clip on the hip, and on a public safety speaker microphone located on the users shoulder. All three tests must pass for the antenna to be released for sale. If you are using a remote speaker mic the coiled cord will need to be kept away from the antenna area for maximum performance. This custom tuned V08 antenna will be approximately 2.5 inches tall with a tolerance of + or - 0.125 inches as measured from the bottom of the weather skirt to the top cap of the antenna. The antenna covering is made of black flexible PVC and has a bottom weather skirt to protect the RF connection on the radio housing. All reworked internal antenna connections are silver soldered. The retuning of the known-brand helical antenna achieves a signal gain that will effectively increase your transmit and receive signal power due to the very low VSWR and excellent 50 ohm impedance match as compared to ANY untuned antenna. Our retuning also allows for a much smaller antenna height without any loss of performance and by eliminating all of the unused open space inside the antenna. Our antenna meets all of the following criteria Built from a new known-brand quality antenna and NOT a Cheap, Junk, or Aftermarket “Look-a-Like” Clone copy from China that all seem to use a red color connector insulator.Be as short as physically possible for a low profile with great communications range.Must be professional looking on the portable radio or if used on a public safety speaker microphone.Exhibit an excellent resonance only in the 800 band 806-862 MHz frequency range.Use a special female SMA connector to properly fit M portables and public safety speaker microphones for the radio models as listed above.Must maintain all specifications over the temperature range of -10 to +120 degrees Fahrenheit. If you need to know what frequencies a specific agency is using for their radio communications please email us before making a purchase. It is a fact that the most important part of any radio communications is the antenna system. The antenna is the device on a radio that converts RF power into radio waves during transmit and radio waves into RF power on receive. All transmitted and received signals must pass through the antenna system for any radio to work. A respected radio engineer once said, “If you had 100 dollars, invest 99 dollars in the antenna system and 1 dollar in the radio and you will always have great communications”. After many years of our own experience we have found that this statement to be true especially for today’s FM narrowband radio communications. We have witnessed portable radios worth thousands of dollars using cheap OEM antennas get beat out performance wise by users with radios one forth the cost using our fine-tuned antennas. VSWR is the efficiency measurement ratio of RF power that is being converted into radio waves by the antenna system as compared to the RF power that is not converted and reflected back into the radio as wasted heating energy. A VSWR of 1.5:1 has been and still is the customary maximum upper limit used in professional land mobile radio communications to determine a good efficient transfer of RF power. Any VSWR above 2:1 is definitely BAD for the performance and the long term health of the radio RF power output amplifier. Sadly many companies that manufacture products in China now use a VSWR of 2:1 as their good reference point to market their poor quality products and make wild claims to be way better than what they actually are. This tuned 800 band antenna is Not made to operate in the Vhf 140-174 MHz, UHF 380-512 MHz, or 769-805 MHz radio bands even though it may fit fine. Matching the antenna frequency tuning to the programmed operating frequencies in your portable radio is extremely important. Please see our listings for many other high performance Vhf, UHF, 700/800, and 700 MHz portable radio antennas. Please ask us if you need help and we will be glad to assist you.
