Description
GME AE2402 1200mm Black Fibreglass Helical 27MHz CB Antenna Whip
A pre-tuned 1200mm black fibreglass helical whip antenna from GME, the AE2402 features a black heat shrink finish and durable fibreglass construction, providing a longer radiating element for improved 27MHz CB performance.
Product overview
The GME AE2402 is a 1200mm (1.2m) black fibreglass helical whip antenna for 27MHz CB radio. Like the shorter AE2401 at 900mm, it is pre-tuned with a black heat shrink outer finish and a fibreglass helical internal element, but at 1200mm it provides a longer radiating element for improved 27MHz CB performance.
At the same physical length as the AE2007, 1200mm stainless steel base-loaded, the AE2402 offers an alternative in fibreglass helical construction, lighter and more flexible than stainless steel.
Features and benefits
1200mm black fibreglass helical whip: Longer than the AE2401 at 900mm, providing greater radiating element length for improved 27MHz CB range.
Black heat shrink finish: A weather-resistant outer coating suited to long-term outdoor use.
Pre-tuned for 27MHz: Factory-tuned and ready to use without adjustment.
Fibreglass construction: Lighter and more flexible than stainless steel at the same length.
Durable: Built to handle Australia's harsh outdoor conditions.

Frequently asked questions
How does the AE2402 differ from the AE2401?
The AE2401 and AE2402 share the same construction, a black fibreglass helical whip with black heat shrink, but at different lengths. The AE2401 is 900mm while the AE2402 is 1200mm. The longer AE2402 provides a greater radiating element length, which generally improves 27MHz CB range.
How does the AE2402 differ from the AE2007?
Both are 1200mm 27MHz antenna whips, but the AE2007 is a stainless steel base-loaded design while the AE2402 is a black fibreglass helical design. Stainless steel is heavier and more rigid, while fibreglass is lighter and more flexible. The AE2007 specifies a ground-dependent design, while the AE2402's ground dependence is unconfirmed. Both are pre-tuned for 27MHz.
What thread does the AE2402 use?
Thread type is not confirmed in the available source data. Contact us to confirm the thread standard before selecting a compatible antenna base.
What does the fibreglass helical construction offer compared to rubber?
Fibreglass is more rigid and durable than rubber for antenna applications, less prone to UV degradation over time and more impact-resistant. The helical internal element, wire wound in a spiral pattern, allows the 1200mm physical length to achieve 27MHz resonance. Compared to a rubber whip of similar length, a fibreglass helical antenna is typically more robust for off-road and outdoor use.
Are a base and cable included with the AE2402?
Kit inclusions are not confirmed in the available source data for this product. In GME's 27MHz antenna range, individual whips are typically sold separately from the antenna base and cable. Contact us to confirm what is included before purchasing.
