930mm Black Elevated-Feed UHF CB Antenna 6.6 dBi, Fibreglass Whip, Light Duty Spring, FME, Ground Independent Product Overview The GME AE4018K2 is the fibreglass-whip equivalent of the AE4012K2 an elevated-feed UHF CB (477 MHz) antenna kit that uses the black fibreglass/braid copper whip (rather than a stainless coil whip) with the same light duty stainless steel spring, elevated-feed base, and pre-terminated FME connector as the AE4012K2. At 930mm total, the AE4018K2 suits the same elevated-feed mounting scenarios as the AE4012K2 bull bar, gutter, fender, and non-roof positions while offering the fibreglass/heat shrink construction of the AE4018 whip range. The ground-independent elevated-feed design performs correctly in any mounting position without a steel vehicle ground plane. The 6.6 dBi whip can be swapped for a 2.1 dBi option for a broader vertical radiation pattern in hilly terrain. Features & Benefits Fibreglass whip with black heat shrink — AE4018B fibreglass/braid copper construction; more impact-resistant than rigid stainless Heavy duty braid copper element — vibration-resistant braided copper internal element Light duty stainless steel spring — same spring type as the AE4012K2; absorbs vibration and allows the antenna to deflect on impact Elevated-feed, ground-independent design — performs correctly from any mounting position without a steel ground plane Pre-terminated FME connector — quick FME connection; AD503 adaptor may be required for PL259/SO239 radios (confirm with GME) 6.6 dBi gain — balanced UHF CB performance for 4WD, heavy vehicle, and fleet use Swappable whip — the 6.6 dBi fibreglass whip can be replaced with a 2.1 dBi option for broader vertical radiation Technical Specs Specification Detail Brand GME Part number AE4018K2 Product type UHF CB elevated-feed antenna kit Length 930mm total Gain 6.6 dBi Whip Black fibreglass, heat shrink, heavy duty braid copper Spring Light duty stainless steel Design Ground independent Connector Pre-terminated FME Kit contents Confirm with GME Weight Not specified Compatible With / Goes Well With GME UHF CB radios with FME or PL259 input (AD503 adaptor may be required) Fibreglass, aluminium, and steel vehicle bodies (ground-independent) Bull bar, gutter, fender mounting positions Weight Not specified Frequently Asked Questions How does the AE4018K2 compare to the AE4012K2? Both are elevated-feed kits with a light duty spring, FME connector, and 6.6 dBi gain at similar overall length (930mm vs 860mm). The AE4012K2 uses a stainless coil whip; the AE4018K2 uses the AE4018B fibreglass/braid copper whip with black heat shrink. The AE4012K2 also carries a specific diesel vehicle bull bar restriction; this is not mentioned for the AE4018K2. Choose based on whip material preference (stainless vs fibreglass). How does the AE4018K2 differ from the AE4018K1 and AE4018BK1? The AE4018K1 (850mm) is the no-spring version; the AE4018BK1 (970mm) has a barrel spring; the AE4018K2 (930mm) has a light duty stainless spring. All three use the same black fibreglass whip and elevated-feed base. The spring style and length are the differentiators — choose the spring version for off-road/vibration applications, and the strength of spring (light duty vs barrel) based on the specific installation demands. What does "light duty" mean for the stainless spring? A light duty spring has a lower spring rate — it deflects more easily under lighter loads compared to a heavy-duty spring. This makes it more compliant and better at absorbing high-frequency vibration from road and engine sources. A heavier spring would require more force to deflect, which may be more appropriate for extreme off-road use where the antenna may take direct impacts. For most 4WD and fleet applications, light duty is the standard choice. Can the 6.6 dBi whip be swapped for a 2.1 dBi option? Yes — the 6.6 dBi fibreglass whip can be removed and replaced with a 2.1 dBi whip option, providing a broader vertical radiation angle for terrain where high-gain narrow-angle antennas underperform. Confirm the compatible 2.1 dBi whip SKU with GME. What connector is on the cable and is an AD503 adaptor included? The AE4018K2 uses a pre-terminated FME connector. Whether an AD503 FME to PL259 adaptor is included in the kit is not confirmed — check with GME before purchasing if your radio uses a PL259/SO239 antenna input.

780mm Elevated-Feed Ground-Independent UHF CB Antenna Black Stainless Coil Whip, ABL002 Base Included. Not for Diesel 4WD Vehicles. Product Overview The GME AE4017K1 is an elevated-feed UHF CB (477 MHz) antenna kit in black a ground-independent elevated-feed antenna using the AE4017 black stainless steel coil whip and the ABL002 elevated-feed base. At 780mm total, it suits installations where roof drilling is not preferred or where non-roof mounting is required on bull bars, gutters, or fenders, while maintaining ground-independent performance. Important: GME states this antenna is not recommended for installation on diesel 4WD vehicles. See FAQ 4. Features & Benefits Elevated-feed, ground-independent design — ABL002 stainless elevated-feed base provides ground independence without requiring a steel roof or body-mounted ground plane 780mm total length — suitable for bull bar, gutter, and fender mounting positions 3.5mm stainless steel coil whip — sturdy coil-wound stainless wire element Ground independent — suitable for fibreglass, aluminium, and non-metallic surfaces ABL002 elevated-feed base included — the stainless steel elevated-feed base (BSW thread) is included Not recommended for diesel 4WD vehicles — see FAQ 4 Technical Specs Specification Detail Brand GME Part number AE4017K1 Product type UHF CB elevated-feed antenna kit Length 780mm Gain 6.6 dBi (4.5 dBd) — title and features use different dB scales Construction Black stainless steel coil whip (3.5mm) Design Ground independent Base included ABL002 (stainless elevated-feed base, BSW thread) Diesel restriction Not recommended on diesel 4WD vehicles Full kit contents Not fully specified — confirm with GME Weight Not specified Compatible With / Goes Well With Bull bar, gutter, and fender mounting positions on non-diesel vehicles Fibreglass, aluminium, and steel vehicle bodies (ground-independent) GME UHF CB radios — confirm connector type with GME Weight Not specified Frequently Asked Questions Why does the product show both 6.6 dBi and 4.5 dB — is this a data conflict? These two values refer to the same antenna measured using different reference standards. dBi (decibels relative to isotropic) measures gain against a theoretical perfect omnidirectional point source. dBd (decibels relative to dipole) measures gain against a standard half-wave dipole. Because a dipole itself has approximately 2.15 dB gain over isotropic, the conversion is: 6.6 dBi − 2.15 = approximately 4.45 dBd (rounded to 4.5 dBd). Both the title (6.6 dBi) and the features (4.5 dB) refer to the same antenna — the source data uses both conventions without consistent labelling. How does the AE4017K1 differ from the AE4012K2? Both are elevated-feed UHF CB antenna kits with ground-independent design. The AE4012K2 includes the ABL002F (FME pre-terminated elevated-feed base), a light-duty spring (AS001), and an AD503 FME to PL259 adaptor — with an 860mm total length. The AE4017K1 uses the ABL002 base (stainless, BSW thread, connector not confirmed as FME) and is 780mm. Confirm full kit contents of the AE4017K1 with GME, and whether an AD503 adaptor is included. What does the ABL002 provide compared to the ABL002F? The ABL002 is the stainless steel elevated-feed base without a specific FME pre-termination; the ABL002F is the FME-terminated version of the same base. Both provide the same BSW thread, elevated-feed ground-independent design, and 4.5m low-loss foam coax. The ABL002F specifically includes the FME connector for compatibility with GME's fast-fit marine antenna ecosystem; the ABL002 connector type requires confirmation with GME. Why is this antenna not recommended for diesel 4WD vehicles? The diesel vehicle restriction is consistent with the AE4012K2 and AE4017 listings — GME recommends against mounting stainless steel coil whip elevated-feed antennas on the bull bar of diesel vehicles due to potential electromagnetic interference from modern diesel injection systems (common rail, piezoelectric) that can affect UHF CB performance when the antenna is in close proximity to the engine bay. Roof, gutter, or fender positions away from the engine are recommended for diesel vehicles. What is included in the AE4017K1 kit? The source description confirms the ABL002 elevated-feed base and the AE4017 stainless coil whip are included. Full kit contents (including any FME-to-PL259 adaptor, spring, or other accessories) are not fully confirmed — confirm with GME before purchasing.

820mm Highly Flexible Slimline 6 dBi UHF CB Antenna for 4WD and Agricultural Vehicles Ground Independent, Removable Whip, Australian Made Product Overview The GME AE4016 is a highly flexible 3.5mm slimline 820mm UHF CB (477 MHz) antenna with 6 dBi gain the 6 dBi version of the slimline AE4015 (2.1 dBi). Like the AE4015, it uses a unique impedance transformer for ground-independent performance and allows the complete antenna to be removed from the base, reducing clearance issues when navigating rough terrain, vegetation, gates, and low overhead obstacles. The highly flexible 3.5mm whip is specifically designed to reduce damage when travelling in rugged terrain bending rather than breaking on contact with obstacles. The AE4016 includes a mounting base, 5m coaxial cable, and FME connection. Designed and manufactured at GME's facility in Sydney, Australia. Features & Benefits 820mm highly flexible 3.5mm slimline whip — extremely narrow 3.5mm profile with high flexibility; reduces damage from contact with vegetation, branches, and obstructions 6 dBi gain — higher gain than the AE4015 (2.1 dBi); improved range for 4WD and agricultural use in flatter terrain Ground-independent design with impedance transformer — the unique impedance transformer base provides ground independence without requiring a steel vehicle body Complete antenna removable from base — the entire antenna can be removed from the base, not just the whip; minimises clearance issues when required Pre-terminated FME connector — the 5m cable terminates in FME Australian Made — designed and manufactured at GME's Sydney facility 5m low-loss coaxial cable and base included — mounting base, cable, and FME connection supplied Technical Specs Specification Detail Brand GME Part number AE4016 Product type UHF CB antenna Length 820mm Gain 6 dBi Whip diameter 3.5mm (slimline) Construction Highly flexible slimline whip Design Ground independent (impedance transformer) Removal Complete antenna removable from base Cable 5m low-loss coaxial with FME connector Origin Australian Made (Sydney) Kit contents Antenna + mounting base + 5m coaxial cable with FME; confirm additional adaptors with GME Weight Not specified Compatible With / Goes Well With ATVs, 4WDs, and agricultural vehicles in rough terrain Non-metallic vehicle bodies (ground-independent design) GME UHF CB radios — confirm connector adaptor requirements with GME Weight Not specified Frequently Asked Questions Does this kit include an FME to PL259 adaptor for radios with standard SO239 inputs? The AE4015 (the 2.1 dBi sibling of this antenna) includes an AD503 FME to PL259 adaptor in the kit. Whether the AE4016 also includes the AD503 is not confirmed in the available supplier data. If your UHF CB radio uses a PL259/SO239 input rather than FME, confirm whether the AD503 is included or needs to be purchased separately before ordering. How does the AE4016 compare to the AE4015? The AE4015 is a 350mm slimline 2.1 dBi UHF CB antenna for ATVs and agricultural vehicles. The AE4016 is an 820mm slimline 6 dBi version — longer for higher gain and improved range, but maintaining the same slimline 3.5mm flexible whip design, ground-independent impedance transformer, and removable antenna philosophy. Choose the AE4016 for better range in flatter terrain; the AE4015 for the most compact clearance profile. What does the 3.5mm diameter slimline whip mean practically? At 3.5mm diameter, the AE4016 whip is significantly narrower than standard UHF CB antenna whips (which typically range from 5mm to over 10mm). This extreme slimline profile reduces wind resistance, reduces the chance of snagging on vegetation, and provides very high flexibility — the whip can deflect significantly from upright without damage. What does "complete antenna removable from base" mean — is this different from a removable whip? In the AE4015, only the whip element is removable. The AE4016 allows the complete antenna to be removed from the base — both the whip and the transformer housing lift away from the base mount, leaving only the lowest base component attached to the vehicle. This provides even greater clearance reduction when required. Is this antenna Australian Made? Yes — the AE4016 is designed and manufactured at GME's dedicated facility in Sydney, Australia. GME highlights local manufacturing as enabling them to tailor products specifically to Australian operating conditions.

Australian-Made Slimline UHF CB Antenna for ATVs, 4WDs and Farm Vehicles 350mm, 2.1 dBi, Ground Independent, Removable Whip, Complete Kit Product Overview The GME AE4015 is a purpose-built 350mm slimline 2.1 dBi UHF CB (477 MHz) antenna specifically developed for ATVs, 4WDs, and agricultural vehicles operating in rough terrain. Designed and manufactured in Australia at GME's Sydney facility, the AE4015 features a unique impedance transformer that provides ground-independent operation and allows the whip to be removed from the base reducing antenna height when clearance is limited by low branches, gates, or overhead obstacles. The kit includes the whip assembly (AW4015), antenna base/transformer (AE4016B), base assembly with 5m coaxial cable and FME connector (ABL020), and FME to PL259 adaptor (AD503). Features & Benefits Slimline 350mm whip — compact, low-profile antenna suited to ATVs and agricultural vehicles where height clearance and slim profile are priorities Purpose-built for ATVs and agricultural vehicles — designed specifically for rough terrain applications; the slimline profile reduces the likelihood of snagging on vegetation, gates, and overhead obstacles Ground-independent with unique impedance transformer — the AE4016B base contains an impedance transformer that provides ground independence and matching without requiring a steel vehicle body Removable whip — the whip element can be removed from the base quickly to reduce clearance height when navigating obstacles; the base and cable remain in place Pre-terminated FME connector — the 5m cable terminates in FME for quick connection AD503 FME to PL259 adaptor included — allows connection to radios with PL259 or SO239 inputs Australian Made — designed and manufactured at GME's dedicated facility in Sydney Complete installation kit — whip assembly, base/transformer, 5m cable, and AD503 adaptor all included Technical Specs Specification Detail Brand GME Part number AE4015 Product type UHF CB antenna system Length 350mm Gain 2.1 dBi Design Ground independent (impedance transformer) Whip Removable from base Origin Australian Made (Sydney) Kit contents Whip assembly AW4015 Antenna base / transformer AE4016B Base assembly + cable ABL020 — 5m coaxial with FME connector Adaptor AD503 — FME to PL259 Weight Not specified Compatible With / Goes Well With ATVs, 4WDs, and agricultural vehicles (rough terrain applications) GME UHF CB radios with FME or PL259/SO239 antenna input (AD503 included) Non-metallic vehicle bodies (ground-independent design) Weight Not specified Frequently Asked Questions What is the impedance transformer and how does it provide ground independence? The AE4016B base/transformer contains an impedance matching network that transforms the antenna's electrical impedance to match the 50-ohm coaxial cable, while also incorporating the function of a ground counterpoise within the transformer housing. This means the antenna does not rely on the vehicle's metal body to complete its electrical circuit — it is self-contained within the base assembly. This approach is different from a standard elevated-feed (which raises the radiating element physically) but achieves the same end result: correct antenna performance independent of the vehicle body material. Why is a slimline design specifically suited to ATVs and agricultural vehicles? ATVs and agricultural vehicles regularly pass through dense vegetation, narrow gates, low doorways, and storage sheds where a standard tall antenna would snag or contact overhead obstructions. The 350mm slimline profile is significantly smaller than standard 600–1200mm UHF CB antennas, reducing clearance requirements. The additional ability to remove the whip completely when not in use addresses situations where even 350mm of height would cause problems. What does the removable whip feature allow in practice? The AW4015 whip can be disconnected from the AE4016B base quickly — allowing it to be removed and stowed when the vehicle passes through low obstacles, enters a shed, or is transported. Unlike fold-down bases (which require a fold mechanism), the removable whip provides a zero-height option. The base, cable, and transformer remain installed; only the whip element is removed and replaced. What components are included and what does each do? The AW4015 is the slimline whip element. The AE4016B is the antenna base with built-in impedance transformer — this is the component that provides ground independence. The ABL020 is the base assembly with 5m coaxial cable and FME connector for routing to the radio. The AD503 is the FME to PL259 adaptor (see the AD503 listing) for connecting the FME cable to radios with PL259/SO239 inputs. Is this antenna Australian Made? Yes — the AE4015 is designed and manufactured at GME's dedicated facility in Sydney, Australia. GME specifically highlights local manufacturing as enabling the production of high-quality communications equipment tailored to Australian conditions.

860mm Ground-Independent Elevated-Feed UHF CB Antenna Kit 6.6 dBi, Stainless Steel, Complete Kit Including ABL002F Base, Spring and AD503 Adaptor Product Overview The GME AE4012K2 is a complete elevated-feed UHF CB (477 MHz) antenna kit 860mm total with a 6.6 dBi 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 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 with GME. The 6.6 dBi whip can also be replaced with a 2.1 dBi whip for a broader vertical radiation pattern in terrain where high gain would reduce effectiveness. Features & 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 6.6 dBi gain — balanced UHF CB range for most terrain types (mid-high gain) Stainless steel whip — durable, corrosion-resistant whip element Light duty stainless spring (AS001) — spring base absorbs vibration and allows the antenna to deflect on contact with obstacles ABL002F elevated-feed base & lead included — the FME-terminated elevated-feed stainless base (see ABL002F listing) 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 6.6 dBi whip swappable for 2.1 dBi — the 6.6 dBi whip can be replaced with a 2.1 dBi 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 2 Technical Specs Specification Detail Brand GME Part number AE4012K2 Product type UHF CB elevated-feed antenna kit Length 860mm total Gain 6.6 dBi Design Ground independent (elevated-feed) Kit contents Antenna whip AE4012 — 6.6 dBi stainless steel Elevated-feed base ABL002F — BSW thread, FME pre-terminated Spring AS001 — light duty stainless steel Adaptor AD503 — FME to PL259 Weight Not specified Compatible With / Goes Well With GME UHF CB radios with FME or PL259/SO239 antenna input (AD503 included) Fibreglass, aluminium, steel, and non-metallic vehicle bodies (ground-independent design) Bull bar, gutter, fender, and A-pillar mounting positions (not recommended on diesel vehicle bull bars) Weight Not specified 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 AE4012 not be mounted on a diesel vehicle bull bar? GME specifically recommends against mounting the AE4012 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 6.6 dBi whip be replaced with a 2.1 dBi whip? Yes — the source description confirms the 6.6 dBi whip can be removed and replaced with a smaller 2.1 dBi whip option. This allows the radiation pattern to be broadened — useful in hilly terrain where the narrower vertical angle of 6.6 dBi would cause some signal to miss terrain features. A 2.1 dBi AE4001 or similar compatible whip would be used for this purpose. What does each component in the kit do? The AE4012 whip is the 6.6 dBi stainless steel antenna element. The ABL002F is the elevated-feed stainless steel base assembly with 4.5m FME-terminated lead (see the ABL002F listing for full details). 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 (see AD503 listing) 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 listed 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 — ABL002F base, AE4012 whip, AS001 spring, and AD503 adaptor all bundled together. Buyers who already have some of these components can purchase them separately.

600mm Black Stainless 6.6 dBi UHF CB Antenna Whip 5/16×26 TPI Confirmed. Whip Only. Product Overview The GME AE4008 is the black version of the AE4007 a 600mm black stainless steel UHF CB (477 MHz) antenna whip with 6.6 dBi gain. The thread is confirmed as 5/16" × 26 TPI (the standard Australian UHF CB thread), compatible with GME's standard antenna bases including the ABL001. Ground-dependent design. Whip only antenna base and coaxial cable purchased separately. Features & Benefits 600mm black stainless UHF CB whip — 6.6 dBi mid-high gain for balanced 4WD and rural UHF CB range 5/16" × 26 TPI thread confirmed — standard Australian UHF CB thread; compatible with GME's standard base range Ground-dependent design — requires a ferrous (steel) mounting surface Whip only — base and cable sold separately Technical Specs Specification Detail Brand GME Part number AE4008 Product type UHF CB antenna whip (477 MHz) Length 600mm Gain 6.6 dBi Colour Black Construction Black stainless steel Design Ground dependent Thread 5/16" × 26 TPI (confirmed) Includes Whip only Weight Not specified Compatible With / Goes Well With GME ABL001 and standard 5/16" × 26 TPI UHF CB antenna bases GME UHF CB radios (477 MHz) Steel-bodied vehicles (ground plane required) Weight Not specified Frequently Asked Questions How does the AE4008 differ from the AE4007? The AE4007 and AE4008 are functionally identical — same 600mm length, 6.6 dBi gain, and ground-dependent design. The AE4007 is natural/polished stainless; the AE4008 is black stainless. The AE4008 also confirms the 5/16" × 26 TPI thread in its source data; the AE4007 did not confirm the thread. What does "black stainless steel" mean — is it heat shrink or a different finish? The AE4008 is described as a "Black Stainless Steel Whip" rather than "stainless steel with black heat shrink" (as used for the AE4002 and AE4006). This may indicate a black-coated or black-anodised stainless treatment rather than a heat shrink sleeve, though the specific finish method is not confirmed in the supplier data. Confirm with GME if the finish type is important for your installation. Does the confirmed 5/16" × 26 TPI thread on the AE4008 also apply to the AE4007? The AE4008 confirms 5/16" × 26 TPI. The AE4007 does not confirm a thread in its source data. As they are the same product in different colours, it is highly likely the AE4007 uses the same thread — but confirm with GME before purchasing a base specifically for the AE4007. What bases are compatible with the AE4008? The confirmed 5/16" × 26 TPI thread is the standard Australian UHF CB thread, compatible with the GME ABL001 and other standard GME and compatible UHF CB antenna bases. Is a base and cable included? No — the AE4008 is a whip only. An antenna base (such as the GME ABL001) and coaxial cable are purchased separately.

Compact 150mm UHF CB Antenna Whip 2.1 dBi, Stainless Steel, Ground Dependent. Whip Only. Product Overview The GME AE4001 is a compact 150mm stainless steel UHF CB (477 MHz) antenna whip with 2.1 dBi 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. Features & Benefits 150mm compact UHF CB whip — low-profile stainless steel whip suited to installations where antenna height must be minimised 2.1 dBi gain — baseline UHF CB gain; equivalent to a standard dipole reference antenna Stainless steel construction — corrosion-resistant and durable for long-term outdoor use Polished stainless steel ferrule — the connector/base fitting is polished stainless steel for appearance and corrosion resistance Ground-dependent design — requires a ferrous (steel) mounting surface to provide the antenna ground plane Whip only — antenna base and cable are purchased separately Technical Specs Specification Detail Brand GME Part number AE4001 Product type UHF CB antenna whip (477 MHz) Length 150mm Gain 2.1 dBi Construction Stainless steel with polished stainless ferrule Design Ground dependent Thread Not specified — confirm with GME Includes Whip only Weight Not specified Compatible With / Goes Well With UHF CB antenna bases with the correct thread for this whip — confirm with GME GME UHF CB radios (477 MHz) Steel-bodied vehicles and vessels (ground plane required) Weight Not specified Frequently Asked Questions What does 2.1 dBi gain mean for a UHF CB antenna? Antenna gain in dBi is measured against an isotropic (theoretical perfect omnidirectional) reference. 2.1 dBi 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 6.6 dBi or 9 dBi) concentrate radiation closer to the horizon for greater range in flat terrain, but 2.1 dBi provides a wider vertical radiation angle that may be more useful in hilly terrain or on vessels. What is the ferrule 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 supplier 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 GME 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 this 150mm UHF CB whip compare to a longer UHF CB antenna? At 150mm, the AE4001 is significantly shorter than most UHF CB antennas — a standard quarter-wave at 477 MHz is approximately 157mm, so 150mm is near-resonant but compact. Shorter antennas have 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 6.6 dBi) would provide better range on flat terrain. Is a base and cable included? No — the AE4001 is a whip only. An antenna base, coaxial lead, and radio are all purchased separately.
