So I initially purchased this because I was going to move my radio onto my molle vest and wanted a shorter antenna so it wasn’t sticking up so close to my face. You need to pay close attention to this and what it’s capable of. We have a digital system which this works great with. The standard, I’ll call it 8” antenna, that we have is VHF capable. The short stubby antenna is NOT VHF compatible. What this means for us is that while we can talk to our own agency (City police) just fine, but if we have to communicate with our deputies in the county we CANNOT because they run a VHF system. This would mean our portables would not be able to communicate with the county. We don’t communicate with them everyday, in fact it’s extremely rare, but it’s one of those things that the one time you need it you won’t have it because of the stubby antenna. So for the lack of VHF support, that can cause issues and because of that our admin won’t approve these for use. If you don’t have to worry about this then the antenna will work great for you. There is a significant drop in range as would be expected. I have not had the issue of it falling apart as some have. As far as comfort, this thing is great. Going from a 8” antenna to a 3” one is a no brainer for added comfort. Still the above issue regarding VHF is a big one. Not worth the safety/communication loss.

Love it

Love the shortness of it

I had the standard length antenna on my duty belt radio. After getting the antenna tangled in the seat belt of my vehicle multiple times, I knew I needed this short antenna. The quality is amazing. Many of my colleagues use the standard (longer) antenna. I get better radio reception with this shorter antenna, especially in the emergency room of my local hospital, that happens to be partially underground.

So glad that i got this. The original antenna that came with it kept poking my upper arm or ribs. This is perfect and no longer pokes me and still gets great reception.

Bought this stubby antenna due to carrying the APX 7000 Motorola Portable Radio at my EMS job it worked great did not notice any loss in radio coverage at all would recommend to anyone wanting a shorter antenna on a Motorola radio

Has held up fine and works well. No signal problems. Was a little more expensive due to it being gps model, but I wouldn’t risk getting one that wasn’t and not having it work correctly.

Works great, and just as well as the long one I was issued. Perfect for law enforcement

Works perfectly!
