600mm Black Stainless Steel Antenna Whip (6.6dBi Gain)
What this is: the AE4008 is a genuine GME antenna whip only, black stainless steel, with a standard 5/16" x 26 TPI thread. It fits any base with a matching 5/16" female socket.
Overview
The GME AE4008 is a straightforward, genuine 6.6dBi UHF CB antenna whip in black stainless steel. It uses a ground dependent design, which means it needs a metal mounting surface, a vehicle roof, gutter, or bullbar, to perform properly. It's not a fit for fibreglass or plastic mounting points.
Built to GME's usual standard for Bay of Plenty tradies, farmers and fleet operators who want a reliable, no-fuss whip to pair with an existing base.
Key Features
- Black stainless steel construction means real durability and a clean, low-key finish.
- Ground dependent design means it needs a genuine metal ground plane to perform properly, a straightforward option for vehicles with a solid metal mounting point.
- 6.6dBi gain means strong performance for open, flat terrain.
- 5/16" x 26 TPI thread means it fits any base with a matching 5/16" female socket, not locked to one specific base.
- 1 year manufacturer's warranty means peace of mind on a part that takes daily knocks.
Applications
