Product overview
The GME AE4002 is the black version of the AE4001, a 150mm stainless steel UHF CB 477MHz antenna whip with 2.1dBi gain, finished with black heat shrink over the stainless body. The polished stainless steel ferrule is shared with the AE4001. Construction, gain, length, and ground-dependent design are identical to the AE4001. The only difference is the black heat shrink outer finish.

Frequently asked questions
How does the AE4002 differ from the AE4001?
The AE4002 and AE4001 are functionally identical, sharing the same 150mm length, 2.1dBi gain, stainless steel construction, polished stainless ferrule, and ground-dependent design. The AE4002 has black heat shrink over the stainless body, while the AE4001 is the natural polished stainless version. Choose based on aesthetic preference for the installation.
What is the black heat shrink on the AE4002 for?
Heat shrink is a thermoplastic sleeve that shrinks to form a tight, weather-resistant outer coating over the stainless steel whip body. It provides a black appearance to blend with darker vehicle bodies, bull bars, or installations where a polished stainless finish would be visually prominent.
Does the black finish affect antenna performance?
No. The black heat shrink is an external cosmetic coating on the stainless steel whip body. The stainless steel whip element below the heat shrink performs identically to the AE4001. Gain, radiation pattern, and frequency tuning are unchanged.
What base is compatible with the AE4002?
Thread type is not confirmed in the available source data. Confirm the AE4002's thread specification with us before purchasing a base. This whip is part of GME's UHF CB range, which typically uses 5/16" TPI or similar standards.
Is a base and cable included with the AE4002?
No. The AE4002 is a whip only. An antenna base, coaxial lead, and radio are all purchased separately.
