EhubAmerica EPC-150RV2 VHF Helical Stubby Antenna 148-164 MHz Motorola

The EhubAmerica EPC-150RV2 is a VHF stubby helical replacement antenna engineered for Motorola CP200 and CP200D portable radios operating in the 148–164 MHz frequency range. Its compact helical construction keeps the antenna profile low and unobtrusive, making it well suited for technicians, security personnel, and field professionals who need a reliable, snag-resistant form factor without sacrificing coverage. The omnidirectional radiation pattern and vertical polarization deliver consistent 360-degree signal propagation, while the 50-ohm impedance and VSWR below 2.0 ensure efficient power transfer between the radio and antenna. A stud connector interface provides a secure, tool-free attachment to compatible Motorola portable radios.

Key features & benefits

• VHF 148–164 MHz Operating Range — Covers the 148–164 MHz VHF band with a center frequency of 150 MHz, aligning precisely with common commercial and public-safety VHF channel plans used in professional two-way radio deployments.
• Stubby Helical Design — The compact helical form factor reduces overall antenna length to 84.5 ± 3 mm, lowering the risk of snagging on equipment or clothing during active use while maintaining full-band VHF performance.
• Omnidirectional Radiation Pattern — Vertically polarized omnidirectional coverage radiates signal equally in all horizontal directions, ensuring reliable communication without the need to orient the radio toward a repeater or base station.
• 50-Ohm Impedance with Low VSWR — Matched to the industry-standard 50-ohm radio port with a VSWR below 2.0, minimizing reflected power and maximizing the efficiency of the radio's transmitter and receiver front end.
• Unity Gain — Unity gain provides a flat, balanced radiation profile with no artificial pattern distortion, making this antenna appropriate for environments where predictable, even coverage is required.
• Stud Connector Interface — The stud connector design enables straightforward attachment and removal on compatible Motorola portable radios, supporting quick field swaps without tools or additional hardware.
• Durable Material Construction — The sleeve is constructed from urethane and the cap from ABS plastic, combining flexibility and impact resistance to withstand the demands of daily professional use.
