Product overview
The GME AE2401 is a 900mm black fibreglass helical whip antenna for 27MHz CB radio. Pre-tuned and ready to use, it is constructed from fibreglass with a black heat shrink finish and a helical internal wire element, a lightweight, practical option for 27MHz CB installations where a mid-length antenna is preferred.
At 900mm, the AE2401 sits between the compact 320mm AE2001 and the longer 1200mm AE2007, providing a balance of physical manageability and antenna length. GME recommends a good mounting location for best performance with this antenna.

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.
