MOL now shows 2 Multi-band antennas for the APX. They are the NAR6591A and the NAR6594A.

The NAR6591A now shows a band split for the VHF as being 136-174 on MOL where I believe it was 150-174 prior.
The question is what is a NAR6594A as it just says ANT VHF/7/800/GPS in the description. Anyone have any idea?
I did an internet search for both, but the information is not consistent with Motorola especially on the NAR6591A

MSRP on that baby being almost $80, I'm glad I don't have an APX, I wouldn't even be able to afford a new antenna for it, let alone a battery LOL

You would think that they would want it to match the capabilities of the radio without even thinking or having to change it. Might have to call parts ID on Tuesday and ask. Oh and yes the price is out of control.

I spoke with Parts ID, the 91 is being replaced by the 94. The bandsplits are the same (136-174) and the real main difference is the 94 is a good 1" shorter in size than the 91.
If you order a 91, a 94 will be received.
