NAR6595A NAR6595 Motorola Original APX 764-870 MHz Single-Band GPS Stubby Antenna

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.

Works great!

The length of the antenna and the use for undercover operations.

Doesnt poke me all day, but it has slightly less reception than the longer antenna. Its marginal but there.

My husband and several of the guys on his department loved their new Motorola radios (APX 6000Li), but hated the long antennas. The antennas stuck up too high while the radios were in their duty belts, and would actually rub against the side of their body, irritating them. So I ordered one of these shorter antennas for him, and 3 more for the other guys on the department who also wanted one. They all switched out the original antennas that came with their radios with these and theyre working perfectly. No issues with reception or incompatibility at all. Their radios work exactly the same as before, just the antennas arent ridiculously long and causing irritation when the radios are in their holsters on their duty belts.

The original APX 8000 antenna is fine if you aren’t worried about comfort and a bulky set up. The shorty does have the GPS feature like the long version. The shorty makes it more realistic to wear on a tactical vest. Perfect for a front radio position or on back/shoulder area. If for tactical use, the shorty is a better fit. All comms should be it range if there is an incident, because there will most likely be a mobile comm center at the CP or nearby tactical comm unit.

No issues, works fine, no need for the giant antenna

Love it

Perfect for what i need it. works with my radio and much more comfortable than my original antenna.

works with apx4000
