I was wondering if anyone has a chart of the "color" cross reference on Motorola antennas? I'm talking about the color plug on the bottom when you unscew the antenna.....

I an s split mt2000 and an s split ht1000, both with the short antennas. One has a green antann, the other black. There is an obvious size difference. Any ideas of cross reference?

From what I can remember:

GREEN is for UHF 440-470MHz
BLACK is for UHF 470-520MHz
RED is for 800MHz
BLUE is for 900MHz

on VHF:

BLACK is mid split 150-162.8MHz
BLUE is high split 160-178MHz

can't recall what the low split color is, I think it is red.

Be careful relying on color coding; M has a different scheme for various series of radios, and even within a series, the colors are re-used for different bands. It is better to order antennas by p/n.

That said, the chart I have for the Jedi series is as follows:

VHF Wide Band Helical (8.1"): Red (NAD6563)
VHF Helical 136-151 (7.8"): Yellow (NAD6566)
VHF Helical 151-562 (7.3"): Black (NAD6567)
VHF Helical 162-178 (6.9"): Blue (NAD6568)
UHF Helical 403-435 (3.3"): Red (NAE6546)
UHF Helical 435-470 (3.2"): Green (NAE6547)
UHF Helical 470-520 (3.2"): Black (NAE6548)
UHF Wide Band Whip (5.2"): Grey (NAE6549)
800 Whip (7"): Red (NAF5037)
800 1/4 Wave Stubby (3.3"): White (NAF5042)
800 Dipole (8"): Red (NAF5039).

Note that NAF5042 is also the 900 antenna.

Foregoing comes from 68P81079C50-B, which is the operating manual that accompanies HT1000s.
