Frequently asked questions How does the AE312V compare to the AE31 VHF antenna?The AE31 is an 850mm white VHF mast mount antenna, longer for higher gain, mast-mounted, and sold as an antenna assembly only with cable and connector not confirmed as included. The AE312V is a 450mm VHF antenna sold as a complete kit including 5m coaxial cable, FME connector, and plug. The AE31 is suited to permanent mast installations where maximum VHF range is the priority, while the AE312V is a more compact option for vessels where a shorter antenna profile is preferred or where a complete FME cable kit is needed. How does the AE312V fit into the GME AE312 range?The AE312 series uses a consistent kit format, antenna assembly, 5m coax, FME connector, and plug, across different frequency variants: the AE312B for AM/FM broadcast, the AE312H for 27MHz CB, and the AE312V for VHF marine. The V suffix confirms the VHF marine frequency application. Why is a shorter 450mm antenna used rather than a longer VHF antenna?Longer antennas typically provide more gain, since a longer effective radiating element improves range, but come with trade-offs in physical profile, wind loading, and clearance requirements. A 450mm antenna is a practical choice for vessels with lower mounting positions, confined spaces, or where the mast position provides sufficient height to compensate for the shorter element length. Is the AE312V a complete installation kit?Yes. The AE312V includes the antenna assembly, 5m coaxial cable, FME connector, and plug. A VHF marine radio is not included. If the radio uses a non-FME antenna input, a GME AD5xx adaptor may be required. What does ground dependent mean for a VHF marine antenna?Ground dependent means the antenna relies on the vessel's metal structure, such as a steel hull, steel deck fitting, or metal mounting surface, as the electrical ground plane. Steel and GRP-over-steel vessels typically provide an adequate ground plane. Fibreglass or aluminium vessels without a suitable steel mounting surface may require a ground-independent elevated-feed antenna base.
