GME AE4018K1 970mm Elevated-Feed Antenna (6.6dBi Gain)

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 What's in the Box 6.6dBi antenna whip (AE4018) Elevated-feed base and lead assembly (ABL017) Medium duty spring (AS002) FME to PL259 adaptor (AD503) Note: these individual components are not currently stocked separately by MSL, so we cannot offer a genuine spare-parts cross-sell for this kit yet.
