Frequently asked questions
What is a folding angle adaptor and when would I use one?A folding angle adaptor installs between the antenna base and the antenna whip, adding a pivot point that lets the whip be tilted or folded flat when needed. Common use cases include vehicles that regularly park in a low-clearance garage or car park, frequent drive-through or wash bay visits, or any situation where a fully upright antenna would contact an overhead obstruction. Rather than purchasing a completely different fold-down antenna base, the AD203 adds this capability to an existing standard antenna installation.
How does the AD203 differ from a fold-down base like the ABL005?The ABL005 is a complete replacement antenna base and lead assembly for the AE409L antenna that includes a built-in fold-down mechanism. The AD203 is an adaptor that fits between an existing base and any 5/16" antenna whip, adding folding capability without replacing the base. The AD203 is the more versatile option for existing installations, while the ABL005 is the correct option for the AE409L antenna as a complete base replacement.
What antennas is the AD203 compatible with?The AD203 suits any antenna with a 5/16" female socket, covering the majority of Australian UHF CB and CB antenna bases and whips using the 5/16" TPI thread standard. This includes most GME antenna products as well as compatible whips from other brands.
What angle can the AD203 fold to?The fold angle range is not confirmed in the available source data. Contact us to confirm the fold angle range before purchasing.
Does the AD203 folding adaptor affect antenna performance?At the fold point, the adaptor introduces a mechanical joint in the antenna base. When the antenna is in the fully upright position, performance should be comparable to a standard base. A folded or partially angled antenna will have reduced effective height and a different radiation pattern, which affects range. The adaptor should always be returned to the fully upright position before operating the radio for best performance.

GME AE4012K2 860mm Ground-Independent Elevated-Feed UHF CB Antenna Kit 6.6dBi
A complete elevated-feed UHF CB 477MHz antenna kit from GME, the AE4012K2 combines an 860mm total length with a 6.6dBi stainless steel whip, the ABL002F elevated-feed base and lead assembly, a light duty stainless spring, and an AD503 FME to PL259 adaptor, delivering ground-independent performance in virtually any mounting position.
Product overview
The GME AE4012K2 is a complete elevated-feed UHF CB 477MHz antenna kit, 860mm total, with a 6.6dBi stainless steel whip, elevated-feed base and lead assembly (ABL002F), light duty stainless spring (AS001), and FME to PL259 adaptor (AD503). The elevated-feed, ground-independent design means this antenna performs correctly in virtually any mounting position, including bull bar, gutter, fender, or A-pillar, without requiring the vehicle roof as a ground plane.
The elevated-feed design raises the radiating element above the vehicle body and obstructions, providing a strong omni-directional pattern regardless of mount position. This makes the AE4012K2 a popular choice for heavy vehicles, fleet vehicles, and 4WDs where non-roof mounting is required.
Important: GME recommends the AE4012 series should not be mounted on the bull bar of diesel vehicles. Confirm mounting position suitability before purchase.
The 6.6dBi whip can also be replaced with a 2.1dBi whip for a broader vertical radiation pattern in terrain where high gain would reduce effectiveness.
Features and benefits
Elevated-feed, ground-independent design: Performs correctly in any mounting position without needing the vehicle roof as a ground plane, suitable for fibreglass, aluminium, and non-metallic vehicle bodies.
Raises the radiating element above obstructions: The elevated-feed base positions the antenna element above the mounting surface for optimal omni-directional pattern from bull bar, gutter, or fender mounts.
6.6dBi gain: Balanced UHF CB range for most terrain types with mid-high gain.
Stainless steel whip: A durable, corrosion-resistant whip element.
Light duty stainless spring (AS001): The spring base absorbs vibration and allows the antenna to deflect on contact with obstacles.
ABL002F elevated-feed base and lead included: The FME-terminated elevated-feed stainless base is included in this kit.
AD503 FME to PL259 adaptor included: Allows direct connection to radios with either FME or standard PL259/SO239 antenna inputs.
6.6dBi whip swappable for 2.1dBi: The 6.6dBi whip can be replaced with a 2.1dBi option for a broader vertical pattern in hilly terrain.
Popular for heavy vehicles and fleet: The elevated-feed design is widely used in the heavy vehicle and commercial fleet sector.
Not recommended for diesel vehicle bull bars: See FAQ for further detail on this recommendation.

Not recommended on diesel vehicle bull bars.
Frequently asked questions
What is an elevated-feed design and why does it improve bull bar and gutter mounting?In a standard ground-dependent antenna mounted on a bull bar or gutter, the antenna's ground plane is formed by the small area of metal immediately around the mount, significantly less than the full vehicle roof. This results in a distorted radiation pattern and reduced performance. The elevated-feed design builds the antenna's counterpoise into the base itself, making the antenna's radiation pattern independent of the mounting surface. When mounted on a bull bar, gutter, or fender, the elevated-feed AE4012K2 radiates an omni-directional pattern as if it were roof-mounted.
Why should the AE4012K2 not be mounted on a diesel vehicle bull bar?GME specifically recommends against mounting the AE4012 series on the bull bar of diesel vehicles. This is due to electromagnetic interference from diesel engine management systems and high-current injection systems, particularly diesel engines with common rail or piezoelectric injection, that can degrade UHF CB performance or cause interference when the antenna is in close proximity to the engine bay. Roof, gutter, or fender mounting positions away from the engine are recommended for diesel vehicles.
Can the 6.6dBi whip on the AE4012K2 be replaced with a 2.1dBi whip?Yes. The 6.6dBi whip can be removed and replaced with a smaller 2.1dBi whip option. This allows the radiation pattern to be broadened, useful in hilly terrain where the narrower vertical angle of 6.6dBi would cause some signal to miss terrain features. A 2.1dBi AE4001 or similar compatible whip would be used for this purpose.
What does each component in the AE4012K2 kit do?The AE4012 whip is the 6.6dBi stainless steel antenna element. The ABL002F is the elevated-feed stainless steel base assembly with 4.5m FME-terminated lead. The AS001 is a light duty stainless spring that sits between the base and whip, absorbing vibration and allowing the antenna to flex and recover on contact with obstacles. The AD503 is the FME to PL259 adaptor that allows the kit's FME-terminated cable to connect to radios with a standard PL259/SO239 antenna socket.
How does the AE4012K2 relate to the ABL002F sold separately?The ABL002F elevated-feed stainless antenna base is available as a standalone product, allowing buyers to assemble or configure their own elevated-feed antenna system. The AE4012K2 is a complete pre-assembled kit, with the ABL002F base, AE4012 whip, AS001 spring, and AD503 adaptor all bundled together. Buyers who already have some of these components can purchase them separately.

Frequently asked questions
How does the AE2401 compare to the AE2001 and AE2007?The AE2001 is a 320mm black rubber whip. The AE2401 is a 900mm black fibreglass helical whip. The AE2007 is a 1200mm stainless steel base-loaded whip. The AE2401 is a mid-length option between the two, with the fibreglass and helical construction offering a lighter and more flexible antenna than the stainless steel AE2007.
What is the heat shrink finish on the AE2401 for?Heat shrink is a thermoplastic sleeve applied over the antenna body that shrinks when heated to form a tight, weather-resistant outer coating. It protects the internal components from moisture, UV exposure, and physical abrasion, while giving the antenna a clean, uniform black appearance.
What thread does the AE2401 use?Thread type is not confirmed in the available source data. Contact us to confirm the base thread specification before selecting a compatible antenna base for the AE2401.
What does good mounting location mean for antenna performance?Antenna location on a vehicle significantly affects 27MHz CB range. Ideal positions provide a large ground plane beneath the antenna and minimal obstruction in the transmission path. Roof-centre is typically optimal, while lower or off-centre positions such as bumper or gutter mounts reduce the effective ground plane and may reduce range. The AE2401 specifically benefits from a good mounting location for best performance.
Is the AE2401 a whip-only purchase or does it include a base and cable?Kit inclusions are not explicitly confirmed in the available source data. In GME's 27MHz antenna range, most individual whip products are sold without a base or cable. Contact us to confirm what is included before purchasing.

GME AE4001 Compact 150mm UHF CB Antenna Whip 2.1dBi Stainless Steel
A compact 150mm stainless steel UHF CB 477MHz antenna whip from GME, the AE4001 delivers 2.1dBi gain with a polished stainless steel ferrule and ground-dependent design, suited to installations where a low-profile short-length UHF antenna is required. Whip only, sold individually.
Product overview
The GME AE4001 is a compact 150mm stainless steel UHF CB 477MHz antenna whip with 2.1dBi gain. The first UHF CB whip in GME's AE4xxx antenna range, the AE4001 suits installations where a low-profile, short-length UHF antenna is required. The polished stainless steel ferrule provides a clean, corrosion-resistant connection point.
This is a ground-dependent design, requiring a steel mounting surface to form the antenna ground plane. The AE4001 is a whip only. An antenna base and coaxial cable are required separately.

Frequently asked questions
What does 2.1dBi gain mean for a UHF CB antenna?Antenna gain in dBi is measured against an isotropic theoretical perfect omnidirectional reference. 2.1dBi is effectively equivalent to a half-wave dipole antenna, the baseline for UHF CB performance. It radiates relatively evenly in all horizontal directions. Higher gain antennas such as 6.6dBi or 9dBi concentrate radiation closer to the horizon for greater range in flat terrain, but 2.1dBi provides a wider vertical radiation angle that may be more useful in hilly terrain or on vessels.
What is the ferrule on the AE4001 and why is it important?The ferrule is the metal fitting at the base of the whip that provides the mechanical and electrical connection between the whip and the antenna base. A polished stainless steel ferrule resists corrosion in marine and coastal environments and provides a secure, clean connection to the base thread.
What antenna base is compatible with the AE4001?Thread type is not confirmed in the available source data. GME's standard UHF CB antenna bases such as the ABL001 at 5/16" TPI may be compatible, but confirm the AE4001's thread specification with us before purchasing a base. The AE4001 is part of GME's UHF CB antenna range which typically uses 5/16" TPI or similar standards.
How does the 150mm AE4001 compare to a longer UHF CB antenna?At 150mm, the AE4001 is significantly shorter than most UHF CB antennas. A standard quarter-wave at 477MHz is approximately 157mm, so 150mm is near-resonant but compact. Shorter antennas have a lower physical profile and are less prone to damage in low-clearance environments, but may have a marginally different radiation pattern compared to optimised longer designs. Higher-gain longer whips such as 6.6dBi would provide better range on flat terrain.
Is a base and cable included with the AE4001?No. The AE4001 is a whip only. An antenna base, coaxial lead, and radio are all purchased separately.
