Description
Long-Distance Dual-Function VHF and GPS Antenna for Handheld Radios
Boost your line-of-sight voice range and unlock precise real-time geolocation mapping.
The Hytera AN0160H13 is a genuine original equipment manufacturer (OEM) high-performance combination antenna designed exclusively for professional VHF two-way radios. Integrating the Hytera AN0160H13 into your communication fleet ensures your mobile team retains a clear, long-distance voice connection while simultaneously providing accurate GPS position mapping tracking data. This 6.7-inch heavy-duty whip is specifically engineered to target the 160 to 174 MHz high-band VHF spectrum alongside the standard 1575 MHz satellite frequency, completely removing the need to carry separate antennas or devices.
Built to thrive within intense industrial environments, the rugged outer jacket features an advanced, highly flexible polymer formulation. It comfortably absorbs major mechanical drops, equipment snags, and routine stress without cracking or impacting raw signal gain. Equipped with an industry-standard premium SMA male connector stud, it guarantees an exact, impedance-matched hardware thread lock into the radio bezel. This robust connection limits voltage standing wave ratio power reflection, ensuring your portable radio runs cooler while optimizing long-distance broadcast output across manufacturing floors, sprawling transit networks, and municipal utility grids.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is this antenna model longer than standard radio antennas?
The 6.7-inch extended physical length is intentionally engineered to capture longer radio waves within the 160–174 MHz high-band VHF spectrum. This added length maximizes raw antenna efficiency and extends overall line-of-sight voice range.
Does this antenna require manual tuning or cutting before field deployment?
No, the Hytera AN0160H13 arrives fully pre-tuned from the factory to operate securely inside the 160–174 MHz frequency window, eliminating any need for complex cutting charts or physical trimmings.
Will the GPS functionality work if my radio doesn't have an internal GPS chip?
The antenna acts strictly as a hardware receiver for the 1575 MHz frequency layer. If your primary radio model lacks an internal GPS tracking chip, the antenna will pass standard voice transmissions perfectly, but tracking data will not be processed.
Can I connect this antenna to a standard SMA female terminal?
Yes. This product features a built-in standard SMA male connection stud designed to screw seamlessly and tightly into matching flush-mount SMA female antenna ports found on supported commercial handhelds.
What happens if I use this VHF antenna on a UHF two-way radio system?
Operating a VHF-tuned antenna on a UHF system creates an extreme frequency mismatch, leading to dangerous voltage standing wave ratios (SWR). This reduces signal performance and can cause destructive thermal feedback that ruins the radio transmitter circuitry over time.
What type of replacement warranty applies to this industrial accessory piece?
This authentic original equipment manufacturer component is protected by Hytera's standard product warranty parameters, ensuring protection against early structural framework faults or material abnormalities.
