I have a XTS 5000 VHF.
Which antenna would work better... the standard fat one thats 8 inches tall, which has the lettering 'motorola' on the side
-or-
6 inches tall, much more skinny, lettering 'motorola VHF'
i know both of them are vhf, but i was wondering which one would be better, the skinny one is much newer than the old one
which antenna?!

Re: which antenna?!
The 8 inch is great if you have freqs from the low 136MHz to the upper 174MHz but if you have freqs in like the 150-160MHz range,the 6 inch band specific antenna would be more ideal since the antenna is specifically tuned to that range.

Re: which antenna?!
@ Ko. I am thinking about buying a 450-520 APX series antenna because I need a new antenna for my XTS5000 and I like the style of that antenna better. Will it work on my XTS5000? I would prefer the straight stiffer antenna (that of the APX) compared to the standard one.
Re: which antenna?!
Yes,it will work.Same connector.
