GME AE4701 580mm Radome Antenna (2.1dBi Gain)

580mm Radome Antenna, Ground Independent (2.1dBi Gain) What this is: the AE4701 is part of GME's AE470x radome antenna system, a fibreglass radome antenna with a stainless steel spring base and a user-interchangeable whip. Available in white (AE4701) or black (AE4701B). Overview The GME AE4701 is a rugged UHF CB radome antenna built for caravans, touring vehicles, and everyday fleet use. It uses a ground independent design, with the coaxial termination built into the spring assembly and an easy screw-down fit for the whip, so whips can be swapped to suit the terrain. At 2.1dBi gain, it is a unity-gain antenna: the broad distribution pattern is less likely to be blocked by buildings, bush, or hilly terrain, making it a solid choice for rugged or mountainous country as well as everyday touring. Key Features Ground independent design means reliable performance regardless of mounting position. Interchangeable whip system means you can swap whips to suit different terrain and gain requirements. Pre-terminated FME connector means a straightforward connection with the included FME to PL259 adaptor. 2.1dBi gain means a broad, reliable signal pattern for hilly or built-up areas. Stainless steel spring base means real durability against vibration and knocks.

The AE4701 is white and the AE4701B is black. Both share the same 2.1dBi gain and 580mm length, the only difference is the radome colour and matching spring finish. Can I swap the whip for a different gain? Yes, the AE470x series uses an interchangeable whip system, so you can fit a different length or gain whip to suit the terrain. Is this suitable for hilly or built-up areas? Yes, the 2.1dBi gain gives a broad signal pattern that handles hills, buildings, and bush better than a higher-gain whip, making it a solid all-rounder for touring and rural use. What warranty comes with the AE4701? It carries GME's standard 1 year warranty.
