GME AISS120 AIS Antenna Splitter The GME AISS120 is an active AIS antenna splitter, permitting a standard marine VHF antenna to serve both an AIS device and VHF radio without signal degradation, featuring clear call routing, IPX7 construction, and 12-24V DC input voltage. Product Overview GME's range of AIS transceivers, receivers, and splitters offers high performance and dependable reliability. The AISS120 active antenna splitter permits a standard marine VHF antenna to serve both the AIS device and VHF radio without any degradation of signal. Using advanced signal processing, the AISS120 is the perfect solution for AIS installations on boats where additional antenna mounting space is not available. Clear call routing provides a key safety feature, ensuring VHF radio emergency priority and full operational performance even when power fails. The AISS120 is designed to work primarily with class B AIS radios such as the AIST120, although it operates equally well with AIS receivers such as the AISR120, and is supplied with the necessary cables to connect to a VHF radio and either the AIST120 or AISR120. One of the most important safety features and fastest growing areas in marine navigation is AIS, Automatic Identification System. This collision avoidance technology is particularly valuable to boaters who regularly travel or fish in busy waterways or near major shipping routes. Having an operating AIS transponder onboard turns your boat into a visible radio beacon indicating your speed, course, and identity to other AIS equipped vessels or base stations. An AIS receiver allows you to track other AIS traffic in the area and identify Aids to Navigation (AtoN) even when not visible by sight, no longer inhibited by line-of-sight limitations like radar. Unlike radar, AIS allows you to see other AIS equipped craft behind obstructions like islands and land masses or hidden behind another vessel, and is equally effective in fog or darkness. AIS information is displayed on dedicated AIS screens or AIS compatible chartplotters. Features & Benefits Single Antenna for AIS and VHF: Permits a standard marine VHF antenna to serve both the AIS device and VHF radio without signal degradation, ideal where additional antenna mounting space isn't available. Clear Call Routing: A key safety feature ensuring VHF radio emergency priority and full operational performance even when power fails. Advanced Signal Processing: Advanced signal processing maintains signal quality when sharing a single antenna between AIS and VHF equipment. 156-163MHz Range: Operates across the 156-163MHz marine VHF and AIS frequency range. Industry Standard Connectors: Industry standard connectors simplify integration with existing VHF and AIS equipment. 12-24V DC Input Voltage: Compatible with both 12V and 24V marine electrical systems. IPX7 Construction: IPX7 rated construction provides protection against water immersion, suited to marine environments. Low Power Consumption: Low power consumption helps minimise the load on the vessel's electrical system.

GME AE4018K2 930mm Black Elevated-Feed UHF CB Antenna Kit with Light Duty Spring The fibreglass-whip equivalent of the AE4012K2, the AE4018K2 is a 930mm elevated-feed UHF CB 477MHz antenna kit combining the black fibreglass and braid copper whip with a light duty stainless steel spring and pre-terminated FME connector, delivering ground-independent performance. Product overview The GME AE4018K2 is the fibreglass-whip equivalent of the AE4012K2, an elevated-feed UHF CB 477MHz antenna kit that uses the black fibreglass and 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, including bull bar, gutter, fender, and non-roof positions, while offering the fibreglass and 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 6.6dBi whip can be swapped for a 2.1dBi option for a broader vertical radiation pattern in hilly terrain. Features and benefits Fibreglass whip with black heat shrink: The AE4018B fibreglass and braid copper construction is more impact-resistant than rigid stainless. Heavy duty braid copper element: A vibration-resistant braided copper internal element. Light duty stainless steel spring: The same spring type as the AE4012K2, absorbing vibration and allowing 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: A quick FME connection, with an AD503 adaptor that may be required for PL259/SO239 radios. 6.6dBi gain: Balanced UHF CB performance for 4WD, heavy vehicle, and fleet use. Swappable whip: The 6.6dBi fibreglass whip can be replaced with a 2.1dBi option for broader vertical radiation. Technical specs Specification Detail SKU AE4018K2 Brand GME Type UHF CB Elevated-Feed Antenna Kit Length 930mm Total Gain 6.6dBi Whip Black Fibreglass, Heat Shrink, Heavy Duty Braid Copper Spring Light Duty Stainless Steel Design Ground Independent Connector Pre-Terminated FME Compatible with The AE4018K2 is compatible with GME UHF CB radios with FME or PL259 input, with an AD503 adaptor that may be required, fibreglass, aluminium, and steel vehicle bodies due to its ground-independent design, and bull bar, gutter, and fender mounting positions. Frequently asked questions How does the AE4018K2 compare to the AE4012K2?Both are elevated-feed kits with a light duty spring, FME connector, and 6.6dBi gain at similar overall length, 930mm compared to 860mm. The AE4012K2 uses a stainless coil whip, while the AE4018K2 uses the AE4018B fibreglass and braid copper whip with black heat shrink. The AE4012K2 also carries a specific diesel vehicle bull bar restriction, which is not mentioned for the AE4018K2. Choose based on whip material preference between stainless and fibreglass. How does the AE4018K2 differ from the AE4018K1 and AE4018BK1?The AE4018K1 at 850mm is the no-spring version. The AE4018BK1 at 970mm has a barrel spring. The AE4018K2 at 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 and vibration applications, and the strength of spring based on the specific installation demands. What does light duty mean for the stainless spring on the AE4018K2?A light duty spring has a lower spring rate, deflecting 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 6.6dBi whip on the AE4018K2 be swapped for a 2.1dBi option?Yes. The 6.6dBi fibreglass whip can be removed and replaced with a 2.1dBi whip option, providing a broader vertical radiation angle for terrain where high-gain narrow-angle antennas underperform. Contact us to confirm the compatible 2.1dBi whip SKU. What connector is on the AE4018K2 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 in the available source data. Contact us before purchasing if your radio uses a PL259/SO239 antenna input.

Technical specs Specification Detail SKU AE4017K1 Brand GME Type UHF CB Elevated-Feed Antenna Kit Length 780mm 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 Compatible with The AE4017K1 is compatible with bull bar, gutter, and fender mounting positions on non-diesel vehicles, and fibreglass, aluminium, and steel vehicle bodies due to its ground-independent design. Confirm connector type with us before purchasing. Frequently asked questions Why does the AE4017K1 show both 6.6dBi and 4.5dB, is this a data conflict?These two values refer to the same antenna measured using different reference standards. dBi measures gain against a theoretical perfect omnidirectional point source, while dBd measures gain against a standard half-wave dipole. Because a dipole itself has approximately 2.15dB gain over isotropic, the conversion is 6.6dBi minus 2.15, approximately 4.45dBd rounded to 4.5dBd. Both figures refer to the same antenna. 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, an 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 with BSW thread and connector not confirmed as FME, and is 780mm. Contact us to confirm full kit contents of the AE4017K1, 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, while 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, while the ABL002 connector type requires confirmation with us. Why is the AE4017K1 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 such as common rail and piezoelectric systems, which 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 available source data 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. Contact us before purchasing.

Product overview The GME AE4016 is a highly flexible 3.5mm slimline 820mm UHF CB 477MHz antenna with 6dBi gain, the 6dBi version of the slimline AE4015 at 2.1dBi. 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 and benefits 820mm highly flexible 3.5mm slimline whip: An extremely narrow 3.5mm profile with high flexibility, reducing damage from contact with vegetation, branches, and obstructions. 6dBi gain: Higher gain than the AE4015 at 2.1dBi, providing 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, minimising 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 SKU AE4016 Brand GME Type UHF CB Antenna Length 820mm Gain 6dBi 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) Compatible with The AE4016 is compatible with ATVs, 4WDs, and agricultural vehicles in rough terrain, non-metallic vehicle bodies due to its ground-independent design, and GME UHF CB radios. Confirm connector adaptor requirements with us before purchasing. Frequently asked questions Does the AE4016 kit include an FME to PL259 adaptor for radios with standard SO239 inputs?The AE4015, the 2.1dBi 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 source data. If your UHF CB radio uses a PL259/SO239 input rather than FME, contact us to 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 2.1dBi UHF CB antenna for ATVs and agricultural vehicles. The AE4016 is an 820mm slimline 6dBi 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, or 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, allowing the whip to deflect significantly from upright without damage. What does complete antenna removable from base mean on the AE4016, 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, with both the whip and the transformer housing lifting away from the base mount, leaving only the lowest base component attached to the vehicle. This provides even greater clearance reduction when required. Is the AE4016 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.

Technical specs Specification Detail SKU AE4015 Brand GME Type UHF CB Antenna System Length 350mm Gain 2.1dBi Design Ground Independent (Impedance Transformer) Whip Removable from Base Origin Australian Made (Sydney) Whip Assembly AW4015 Antenna Base/Transformer AE4016B Base Assembly + Cable ABL020 - 5m Coaxial with FME Connector Adaptor AD503 - FME to PL259 Compatible with The AE4015 is compatible with ATVs, 4WDs, and agricultural vehicles in rough terrain applications, GME UHF CB radios with FME or PL259/SO239 antenna input via the included AD503 adaptor, and non-metallic vehicle bodies due to its ground-independent design. Frequently asked questions What is the impedance transformer on the AE4015 and how does it provide ground independence?The AE4016B base and 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, as 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 of 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 to 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 on the AE4015 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, while only the whip element is removed and replaced. What components are included in the AE4015 kit and what does each do?The AW4015 is the slimline whip element. The AE4016B is the antenna base with built-in impedance transformer, 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 for connecting the FME cable to radios with PL259/SO239 inputs. Is the AE4015 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.
