Hytera AN0153H12 VHF Long Antenna with GPS (147–160MHz)
The AN0153H12 is an OEM extended VHF antenna with GPS support. It operates in the mid band of 147–160 MHz and the GPS band (1575 MHz). The antenna is designed for Hytera DMR portable radios in the PD4, BD5, PD5, BD6, and PD7 series. The product is 17 cm long. It connects to the radio through an SMA connector. The antenna's increased length extends the communication range in open terrain.
Why Professionals Choose the Hytera Antenna AN0153H12
Different groups of VHF portable radios operate on different parts of the band, and the antenna is tuned to a specific segment. The AN0153H12 is designed for the middle of the band and is tuned to 147–160 MHz. It also receives GPS signals at 1575 MHz, which lets you use location-reporting features. The AN0153H12 is 17 cm (6.7") long. An antenna of this length provides a longer communication range in open terrain. Carrying a radio fitted with an antenna this long is somewhat inconvenient. But it is the optimal choice for services that value communication range and location accuracy over compact equipment.
The antenna connects to the two-way radio through an SMA connector. It is designed for Hytera portable radios in the PD4, BD5, PD5, BD6, and PD7 series, specifically the BD502i, BD552i, BD612i, PD482i, PD502i, and other models. The AN0153H12 is matched to radios in the 147–160 MHz band, so voice communication and GPS positioning work correctly right out of the box.

FAQ
What is the difference between the AN0153H12 and the AN0153H08 stubby?
Both cover 147–160 MHz with GPS and use the same SMA port. The difference is length. The AN0153H12 is a 17 cm long antenna, so it reaches further on open or spread-out sites. The AN0153H08 is a 4.7-inch stubby, which sits lower for belt and vest carry. Choose the long antenna when range matters more than a compact profile.
Where are 147–160 MHz antennas typically used?
The 147–160 MHz range sits in the VHF high band, which carries further over open and rural ground than UHF. Radios in this range are common in outdoor, wide-area work: agriculture and forestry, construction and public works, transportation and logistics yards, utilities, and campus or event security. It suits low-density sites where range matters more than penetrating dense buildings.
