GME AE312B 600mm White AM/FM Antenna Base, Cable and Plug
A 600mm white AM/FM antenna base, cable, and plug assembly from GME, the AE312B is engineered for demanding conditions with a ground-dependent design, 5 metres of coaxial cable, and an FME connector consistent with GME's marine and professional accessory ecosystem.
Product overview
The GME AE312B is a 600mm white AM/FM antenna base, cable, and plug assembly, part of GME's range of AM/FM antennas built for more extreme conditions than standard broadcast reception applications. Where most AM/FM antennas are designed for vehicle or home entertainment use under mild conditions, GME's AM/FM range is engineered for installations where a robust, reliable AM/FM signal is required in demanding environments.
The AE312B uses a ground-dependent design and includes an FME connector, making it compatible with equipment using FME antenna inputs consistent with GME's marine and professional accessory ecosystem. The kit includes the antenna assembly, 5m coaxial cable, FME connector, and plug.

Compatible with
The AE312B is compatible with FME-equipped radios and head units with AM/FM broadcast reception, marine vessels and vehicles with steel mounting surfaces for ground plane, and GME's FME antenna accessory range including the AD502, AD503, AD504, and AD505.
Frequently asked questions
Is the AE312B a complete antenna or just the base and cable assembly?
The AE312B is listed as an antenna base, cable, and plug kit. Whether a separate whip element is included, or whether the 600mm length refers to the complete antenna including any whip, is not confirmed in the available source data. Contact us to confirm whether a whip is included in the kit before purchasing.
What does the FME connector on the AE312B allow you to connect to?
The FME connector is a compact coaxial connector used by GME's marine antenna base range and some radio accessories. It allows the AE312B to connect to radios, head units, or adaptor assemblies with FME antenna inputs. For radios with other input types such as BNC, PL259, or TNC, a GME AD5xx series adaptor may be used to bridge the connection.
What does ground dependent mean for an AM/FM antenna?
Ground dependent means the antenna uses the vehicle or vessel's metal body as the electrical ground plane. For AM/FM broadcast reception this is standard on most automotive and marine installations. A steel mounting surface is required, while fibreglass or aluminium bodies may require a ground-independent base.
What makes the AE312B different from a standard AM/FM car antenna?
GME describes this range as engineered for more extreme conditions where an enhanced AM/FM signal is needed, targeting marine, heavy vehicle, and demanding mobile installations where standard car radio antennas are too fragile or perform inconsistently. The FME connector and robust construction are consistent with GME's marine-grade accessory line.
Is the AE312B compatible with car head units?
The AE312B uses an FME connector rather than the standard Motorola/DIN aerial connector used by most car head units. A GME AD503 FME to PL259 adaptor or similar, plus a PL259 to Motorola/DIN adaptor, may be required for use with a standard automotive head unit. Contact us to confirm the required adaptors for your specific head unit.
