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. Technical specs Specification Detail SKU AE4012K2 Brand GME Type UHF CB Elevated-Feed Antenna Kit Length 860mm Total Gain 6.6dBi Design Ground Independent (Elevated Feed) Antenna Whip AE4012 - 6.6dBi Stainless Steel Elevated-Feed Base ABL002F - BSW Thread, FME Pre-Terminated Spring AS001 - Light Duty Stainless Steel Adaptor AD503 - FME to PL259 Compatible with The AE4012K2 is compatible with GME UHF CB radios with FME or PL259/SO239 antenna input via the included AD503 adaptor, fibreglass, aluminium, steel, and non-metallic vehicle bodies due to its ground-independent design, and bull bar, gutter, fender, and A-pillar mounting positions. 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.

Confirm thread compatibility with us before purchasing. 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.

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.
