Black Elevated-Feed Antenna Base Ground Independent, Delryn Plastic, 4.5m Low-Loss Foam Coax, PL259, BSW Thread Product Overview The GME ABL017B is the black version of the GME elevated-feed antenna base and lead assembly. It uses the same ground-independent elevated-feed design as the ABL017 meaning the antenna does not require a flat metal vehicle roof for ground plane, and can be mounted on brackets, aluminium, fibreglass, or other non-metallic surfaces with a black ferrule and high-quality Delryn (acetal) plastic construction rather than the polished silver stainless steel of the ABL017. The kit includes the elevated-feed assembly, 4.5m of low-loss foam coaxial cable, and a PL259 plug, providing a complete ready-to-install assembly. The BSW thread is consistent with the ABL017 and the rest of the GME elevated-feed base range. The polished silver (stainless) version of this base is the ABL017. Features & Benefits Black finish — suited to vehicles and installations where a black antenna base is preferred; black ferrule throughout High-quality Delryn (acetal) plastic construction — Delryn is an engineering thermoplastic known for its strength, dimensional stability, and moisture resistance; suited to outdoor and vehicle applications Ground-independent / elevated-feed design — allows antenna mounting beyond the vehicle roof, including on bull bars, brackets, and non-metallic surfaces; no flat metal ground plane required BSW thread — confirm antenna uses BSW thread before purchasing PL259 plug included — standard radio connector supplied in the box; connects directly to radios with SO239 input 4.5m low-loss foam coaxial cable — minimises signal attenuation over the full cable run Polished silver version available — the ABL017 is the stainless steel equivalent Technical Specs Specification Detail Brand GME Part number ABL017B Colour Black Material Delryn (acetal) plastic with black ferrule Product type Elevated-feed antenna base and lead Lead length 4.5m Cable type Low-loss foam coaxial cable Connector PL259 (included) Thread BSW (British Standard Whitworth) Design Ground independent (elevated feed) Polished silver version ABL017 Weight Not specified Compatible With / Goes Well With Antennas with BSW thread base — confirm your antenna uses BSW thread before purchasing Radios with SO239 antenna socket (accepts the included PL259 plug) Mounting brackets, aluminium, fibreglass, and non-metallic vehicle surfaces 4WD, marine, and recreational installations where ground-dependent bases are not suitable Weight Not specified Frequently Asked Questions How does the ABL017B differ from the ABL017? Both are elevated-feed bases with ground-independent design, BSW thread, 4.5m low-loss foam coax, and PL259 connector. The ABL017 is constructed in polished silver stainless steel; the ABL017B uses black Delryn (acetal) engineering plastic with a black ferrule. The Delryn construction is lighter than stainless and still suited to outdoor vehicle use; stainless provides superior corrosion resistance in particularly harsh marine or coastal environments. What is Delryn plastic? Delryn (also spelled Delrin, the DuPont trade name) is an acetal resin engineering thermoplastic. It offers high stiffness, low friction, good dimensional stability, and resistance to moisture, fuels, and solvents. It is commonly used in automotive and outdoor accessory hardware where metal components would be heavier or less practical. The Delryn plastic in the ABL017B provides a durable, weather-resistant construction suitable for vehicle-mounted antenna applications. What does "elevated-feed" mean and why does it make the base ground-independent? An elevated-feed base positions the antenna's electrical feed point away from the mounting surface, incorporating a built-in counterpoise into the base itself rather than using the vehicle body as the ground plane. This is in contrast to a standard antenna base, which relies on the flat metal vehicle roof to form the antenna's ground plane. The elevated-feed design means the ABL017B works correctly on bull bars, brackets, fibreglass, aluminium canopies, and any other mounting location — without needing a flat metal surface below. What mounting bracket does the description refer to? The description notes that the elevated-feed design "allows mounting of the antenna onto many other parts of the vehicle, using a suitable mounting bracket." This refers to vehicle-specific or universal antenna mounting brackets — such as bull bar mounts, gutter clamps, or bonnet brackets (like GMF4x4's bracket range) — rather than a bracket included in the ABL017B kit itself. The ABL017B base only is included; any mounting bracket is purchased separately. Is the PL259 connector specific to GME or a universal standard? PL259 is a universal industry-standard coaxial connector used across CB, UHF, and amateur radio worldwide. The included PL259 plug connects to any radio with a standard SO239 female antenna socket, which covers the vast majority of Australian CB and UHF mobile radios. It is not GME-proprietary.

Magnetic Antenna Base with Coaxial Lead and Plug No-Drill Mounting for UHF CB Antennas, 5/16" TPI Thread Product Overview The GME AB406 is a magnetic antenna base for UHF CB and CB antennas, supplied with a coaxial lead and plug. The magnetic base provides a quick, non-permanent antenna mounting solution on any ferrous (steel) surface suitable for vehicles, machinery, or any steel surface where a permanent drilled mount is not desired. The 5/16" TPI thread accepts standard Australian UHF CB antenna whips. The included lead and plug allow direct connection to the radio's antenna input without additional coaxial assembly. Features & Benefits Magnetic mount — attaches to any flat steel surface without drilling; suitable for temporary or semi-permanent antenna setups on vehicles, sheds, or machinery Coaxial lead and plug included — ready to connect to a compatible radio without purchasing additional cable or connectors separately 5/16" TPI thread — accepts standard Australian UHF CB and CB antenna whips using the 5/16" TPI thread standard Non-permanent — the magnetic base can be repositioned or removed without damage to the vehicle surface Genuine GME accessory — manufactured by GME for use with compatible GME and standard 5/16" TPI antennas Technical Specs Specification Detail Brand GME Part number AB406 Product type Magnetic antenna base Thread 5/16" TPI Includes Coaxial lead and plug Lead length Not specified — confirm with GME Plug connector type Not specified — confirm with GME Surface requirement Ferrous (steel) surfaces only Weight Not specified Compatible With / Goes Well With Standard 5/16" TPI UHF CB antennas — confirm your specific antenna thread before purchasing GME UHF CB antennas with 5/16" TPI base Vehicles, trailers, machinery, and any steel surface suitable for magnetic mounting GME UHF CB radios requiring a non-permanent antenna mounting solution Weight Not specified Frequently Asked Questions What surfaces does this magnetic base adhere to? The AB406 is a magnetic base and requires a ferrous (steel) surface. It will not adhere to aluminium, fibreglass, plastic, or other non-magnetic materials. Most vehicle roofs and bonnets are steel and will work; confirm that your mounting area is steel and reasonably flat for a secure magnetic contact. Thicker rooflines or areas with internal bracing under the panel may affect magnet strength. What is the cable length and what connector type does the plug use? Cable length and plug connector type are not confirmed in the available supplier data. This is important to confirm before purchasing, as cable length determines routing capability and the plug connector must match the radio's antenna input. Contact GME or your supplier for these specifications. Does magnetic mounting affect UHF radio performance compared to a bolted mount? Magnetic bases provide a good ground plane connection through the steel vehicle surface, and performance is generally comparable to bolted bases when installed on a flat steel surface. However, very thin sheet metal, painted surfaces with thick coatings, or non-central roof positions can slightly reduce ground plane effectiveness. For optimal performance on a specific vehicle, a permanent drilled mount typically outperforms a magnetic base — but for most recreational and utility UHF applications, the AB406 will perform well. Can this base be left on the vehicle permanently? The magnetic base can be left in place for extended periods, but is designed primarily as a non-permanent mounting option. Long-term outdoor exposure may allow water and debris to accumulate under the base, potentially affecting the vehicle's paint. If the antenna is to remain on the vehicle full-time, a permanent drilled mount may be more appropriate. What antennas fit this base? Any antenna using a standard 5/16" TPI thread base is compatible — this covers the majority of Australian UHF CB and CB antenna whips from GME and other brands. Confirm your antenna uses 5/16" TPI thread before purchasing. Legendary Products & Support From Authorized Dealers When you choose Frankies BrandBeast, you're choosing quality and performance.
