GME AE4701B 580mm Radome Antenna 2.1dBi Black
The Australian made GME AE4701B is a 580mm black fibreglass radome antenna with 2.1dBi gain, part of the interchangeable AE470x series, featuring a medium duty stainless steel spring base, ground independent design, and a pre-terminated FME connector.
Product Overview
GME offers a range of rugged, heavy duty radome antennas, the perfect blend of style and performance. The AE470x series is an adaptable UHF CB antenna system with a range of spring bases and user-interchangeable whips, allowing you to quickly and easily switch between whips to suit the operating conditions and application.
The AE470x series includes a range of shorter length whips with lower gain for mountainous terrain or built-up areas, and longer length whips with higher gain for travelling on open roads or flat terrain. The AE4701B is a popular choice for caravans and touring vehicles, and is also available in white as the AE4701.
Features & Benefits
Black Fibreglass Radome: The black fibreglass radome protects the internal whip element while maintaining a sleek, low-profile look.
Medium Duty Stainless Steel Spring Base: The medium duty stainless steel spring base absorbs knocks and impacts, helping protect the antenna from damage.
Interchangeable Whip: The whip can be swapped for other AE470x series options, allowing the gain and length to be matched to the operating conditions.
Ground Independent Design: The ground independent design performs reliably without depending on a specific vehicle ground plane.
Pre-Terminated FME Connector: The pre-terminated FME connector, with an included FME to PL259 adaptor, simplifies connection to a range of radio installations.
Popular Choice for Caravans and Touring: The AE4701B is a popular choice for caravans and touring vehicles, balancing gain and length for general touring use.
Made in Australia: The AE4701B is designed and manufactured in Australia.
Also Available in White: If black doesn't suit your vehicle, the same antenna is available in white as the AE4701.
