Description
Icom FAS82VS VHF (148–162 MHz) Stubby Antenna
Compact 3.2-inch flexible rubber VHF stubby antenna with SMA connector for Icom F3400D and F7010 series portable radios.
The Icom FAS82VS (FA-S82VS) is a genuine OEM flexible rubber stubby antenna covering the VHF 148–162 MHz band, fitted with an SMA connector. At 3.2 inches, the low-profile form factor reduces snag risk in tight corridors, vehicle cockpits, and densely packed work environments — ideal for public safety, security, and industrial personnel who wear their radio on a belt or vest. The flexible rubber jacket absorbs bends and impacts that would damage a rigid whip antenna.
Note: This antenna is tuned for VHF 148–162 MHz only. Do not use on UHF radio models — frequency mismatch will cause severe signal loss and may damage the radio’s RF amplifier.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use this antenna on a UHF radio?
No. The FAS82VS is tuned strictly for VHF 148–162 MHz. Installing it on a UHF radio will cause severe signal loss and may damage the radio’s internal RF amplifier.
What is the advantage of a stubby antenna over a standard whip?
At 3.2 inches, the stubby profile prevents snagging on seatbelts, clothing, and equipment. It offers excellent short-range facility coverage, though a full-length whip may provide slightly better range in fringe areas.
Does installation require tools?
No. The FAS82VS threads directly onto the antenna port clockwise until flush — no tools required.
Warranty
1-year manufacturer’s warranty.
