GME ABL017B Black Elevated-Feed Antenna Base with Delryn Construction and PL259
The black version of the GME elevated-feed antenna base and lead assembly, the ABL017B uses high-quality Delryn acetal plastic construction with a black ferrule, ground-independent elevated-feed design, 4.5 metres of low-loss foam coaxial cable, a PL259 plug, and a 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. The ABL017B is constructed with a black ferrule and high-quality Delryn acetal plastic 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 steel version of this base is the ABL017.
Features and benefits
Black finish: Suited to vehicles and installations where a black antenna base is preferred, with a 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, with no flat metal ground plane required.
BSW thread: Confirm your antenna uses a BSW thread before purchasing.
PL259 plug included: A standard radio connector supplied in the box, connecting directly to radios with an 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 of this base.

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, while stainless provides superior corrosion resistance in particularly harsh marine or coastal environments.
What is Delryn plastic?Delryn, also known by the DuPont trade name Delrin, is an acetal resin engineering thermoplastic offering 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, providing a durable, weather-resistant construction 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 a 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.
Does the ABL017B include a mounting bracket?No. The ABL017B includes the elevated-feed base assembly, 4.5m coaxial lead, and PL259 plug only. Any vehicle-specific or universal mounting bracket, such as a bull bar mount, gutter clamp, or bonnet 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, covering the vast majority of Australian CB and UHF mobile radios. It is not GME-proprietary.

Frequently asked questions
How does the ABL017 differ from the ABL002 and ABL002F?All three are elevated-feed stainless steel bases with ground-independent design, BSW thread, and 4.5m low-loss foam coax. The ABL002's connector is unspecified in the available source data. The ABL002F has an FME connector. The ABL017 has a PL259 connector, PL25292S. Choose the ABL017 for installations connecting to a standard PL259 radio socket, or the ABL002F for radios with an FME socket.
What is the PL25292S connector?PL25292S is the GME part number for the specific PL259 connector included with the ABL017. PL259 is the standard UHF series coaxial connector widely used across CB and UHF radio installations in Australia, threading into the SO239 socket on most standard mobile and base station CB/UHF radios.
Does the BSW thread accept 5/16" TPI antenna whips?No. BSW and 5/16" TPI are different, incompatible thread standards. Always confirm that your intended antenna whip uses a BSW thread before purchasing the ABL017. The ABL001 with 5/16" TPI ground-dependent design is the appropriate choice for standard 5/16" TPI antennas.
What applications is the ABL017 designed for?The ABL017 suits any application where a ground-independent antenna mounting is required, including fibreglass boats and vessels, aluminium ute canopies, non-metallic roof structures, and any 4WD or recreational vehicle body where a conventional ground-dependent base would not perform correctly.
Is a splash-proof cap included with the ABL017?A splash-proof cap is not confirmed in the available source data for the ABL017. Contact us before purchasing to confirm whether one is included.

GME ABL005 Replacement Base and Lead Assembly for the AE409L Fold-Down UHF Antenna
A genuine replacement base assembly and coaxial lead from GME, the ABL005 suits the GME AE409L fold-down style UHF CB antenna, replicating the original anodised finish and folding mechanism with 4.5 metres of low-loss coaxial cable and a 5/8" UNEF 24 TPI thread.
Product overview
The GME ABL005 is a genuine replacement base assembly and coaxial lead specifically for the GME AE409L fold-down UHF CB antenna. The AE409L is designed to be lowered when low-clearance situations are encountered, such as car parks, garages, wash bays, and overhead obstacles. The folding mechanism within the base assembly is the key component that enables this function, and the ABL005 provides a genuine replacement retaining the same folding mechanism, anodised finish, and 4.5m low-loss coaxial cable as the original.
The thread specification is 5/8" UNEF 24 TPI, unique to this fold-down base design and not interchangeable with the 5/16" TPI standard used on the AB001, AB406, and ABL001, or the BSW thread used on the ABL002 series. The ABL005 is not a universal base and is compatible with the AE409L only.
Note: the cable plug and connector type is not confirmed in the available source data. Confirm the connector specification before purchasing.
Features and benefits
AE409L fold-down antenna specific: A genuine replacement base and lead assembly for the GME AE409L, including the original folding mechanism.
Unique folding mechanism: The base assembly contains the fold-down pivot that allows the AE409L antenna whip to be lowered flat. This mechanism is retained in the ABL005 replacement.
Anodised finish: Anodised aluminium construction provides corrosion resistance and a durable surface finish for long-term outdoor use.
5/8" UNEF 24 TPI thread: The specific thread standard matched to the AE409L fold-down base. Not compatible with 5/16" TPI or BSW antenna whips.

Frequently asked questions
What is a fold-down antenna and when is it useful?A fold-down antenna has a hinged base that allows the whip element to be lowered to a near-horizontal position when not in use or when height clearance is an issue. This is particularly useful for drivers who regularly encounter low-clearance garages, car wash bays, underpasses, or overhead obstacles. The AE409L's fold-down mechanism is contained in the base assembly, which the ABL005 replaces.
What is 5/8" UNEF 24 TPI and is it compatible with other antennas?5/8" UNEF 24 TPI is a Unified National Extra Fine thread at 24 threads per inch, the specific thread specification used in the AE409L fold-down base assembly. It is not compatible with the 5/16" TPI thread standard used in most other GME antenna bases, nor with the BSW thread used in the ABL002 series. Only AE409L-compatible whip antennas using this thread will fit the ABL005.
What does the anodised finish provide?Anodising is an electrochemical process that creates a hardened, corrosion-resistant oxide layer on the aluminium surface, providing better durability and corrosion resistance than bare aluminium, particularly in UV-exposed and outdoor environments, while keeping the component lightweight.
What connector does the ABL005 lead terminate with?The connector type at the radio end of the cable is not confirmed in the available source data. Contact us before purchasing to confirm the connector matches your radio's antenna input type.
Is the ABL005 suitable as a universal fold-down base for other antennas?No. The ABL005 is specifically designed for the GME AE409L fold-down UHF antenna. The 5/8" UNEF 24 TPI thread, folding mechanism geometry, and electrical specification are matched to the AE409L. It is not a universal fold-down base and is not compatible with other antenna models or thread types.
