970mm Elevated-Feed Antenna (6.6dBi Gain)
What this is: the AE4018K1 is GME's elevated-feed UHF CB antenna kit, built for high performance in virtually any mounting position, on a bull bar, gutter, or fender.
Overview
The GME AE4018K1 is a 970mm elevated-feed UHF CB antenna providing 6.6dBi gain for great all-round performance. The elevated-feed design raises the radiating element above the vehicle roof or other obstructions, giving a strong, omni-directional pattern regardless of mounting position.
The 6.6dBi fibreglass whip can be swapped for a smaller 2.1dBi option for a broader radiation pattern in hilly or built-up terrain, a popular choice for 4WDs and fleet vehicles.
Key Features
- Elevated-feed design means strong, omni-directional performance mounted on a bull bar, gutter, or fender.
- Fibreglass whip with black heat shrink and a heavy duty braid copper element means durability without the weight of stainless steel.
- Barrel style stainless steel spring means real vibration and impact resistance.
- Ground independent design means it mounts on virtually any surface.
- Pre-terminated FME connector with an included FME to PL259 adaptor means straightforward installation.
- 6.6dBi gain means strong signal for open country and rural work, swappable for a 2.1dBi whip in hilly terrain.
Applications
- 4WD vehicles and fleet vehicles needing a bull bar, gutter, or fender mount
- Rural and open-road driving where 6.6dBi gain suits the terrain
- Utes and work trucks running UHF CB for site or paddock communications
