Aerpro CBA6F1L 6dBi Elevated Feed UHF CB Antenna 477MHz Silver

Aerpro CBA6F1L 6dBi Elevated Feed UHF CB Antenna 477MHz Silver Fibreglass Whip with Stainless Steel Spring and 4.9m RG58 Cable

The CBA6F1L from Aerpro is a 6.0dBi 477MHz elevated feed UHF CB antenna in silver, featuring a 945mm fibreglass whip mast on a heavy-duty stainless steel spring. The elevated feed design raises the radiation pattern above the vehicle roofline and bullbar obstructions for optimised performance in bullbar-mounted applications. The antenna is ground independent and includes 4.9 metres of RG58 coaxial cable terminated with an FME connector, plus an FME to PL259 adaptor, mounting nut, and installation spanner.

Product overview

The CBA6F1L delivers 6.0dBi of gain with an elliptical radiation pattern focused toward the horizon, providing extended communication range across open country, highways, and regional roads compared to lower gain antennas. The tighter radiation pattern makes it particularly suited to long-distance communication in flat to moderately varied terrain such as highways, open farmland, and regional Australia where horizon-oriented signal projection is most effective.

The elevated feed design is engineered for bullbar and raised mounting positions, raising the radiation pattern above the vehicle roofline and surrounding obstructions that would otherwise reduce performance. The ground-independent design maintains a stable and consistent radiation pattern regardless of the mounting surface or vehicle type, making the CBA6F1L compatible with a wide range of trucks, 4WDs, and heavy machinery. The 4.9 metre RG58 cable with FME connector simplifies routing through firewall grommets, and the included adaptor, mounting nut, and spanner provide everything needed for a complete installation.

Features and benefits

6.0dBi gain with horizon-focused radiation pattern: The 6.0dBi gain delivers an elliptical radiation pattern focused toward the horizon, extending communication range across open country, highways, and regional roads compared to lower-gain antennas.

Elevated feed design for bullbar mounting: The elevated feed raises the radiation pattern above the vehicle roofline and surrounding obstructions, ensuring maximum performance when mounted on a bullbar or other elevated position.

Ground independent construction: The ground-independent design provides a stable, consistent radiation pattern regardless of the mounting surface or vehicle type, broadening compatibility across trucks, 4WDs, and heavy machinery.

Heavy-duty stainless steel spring and fibreglass whip: The 650mm fibreglass whip mast and stainless steel spring are engineered to handle the demands of trucks, 4WDs, and heavy machinery operating in harsh Australian conditions.

4.9m RG58 cable with FME connector: The pre-fitted 4.9 metre RG58 coaxial cable terminated with a female FME connector simplifies routing through firewall grommets for a clean, professional installation.

Compatible with all 477MHz UHF CB radios: The CBA6F1L is compatible with all 477MHz UHF CB radios used in Australia and New Zealand for universal brand compatibility.

Complete installation accessories included: An FME to PL259 adaptor, mounting nut, and installation spanner are all included for a complete, ready-to-install package.

Frequently asked questions

What UHF radios is the CBA6F1L compatible with?
The CBA6F1L operates at 477MHz and is compatible with all 477MHz UHF CB radios used in Australia and New Zealand, providing universal brand compatibility across the full range of 477MHz handheld and vehicle-mounted UHF radios.

What is the advantage of an elevated feed antenna over a standard base-loaded antenna?
An elevated feed antenna positions the radiation point higher on the antenna mast, raising the radiation pattern above the vehicle roofline and surrounding obstructions. This is particularly beneficial in bullbar-mounted applications where the antenna is positioned below the roofline and standard base-loaded antennas may have their radiation pattern obstructed by the vehicle body.

Is the CBA6F1L suitable for mounting on a fibreglass or plastic bullbar?
Yes. The ground-independent design means the CBA6F1L does not require a metal ground plane to operate correctly, making it suitable for fibreglass, plastic, or any other non-conductive mounting surface as well as metal surfaces.

What connector does the CBA6F1L cable terminate with?
The 4.9 metre RG58 cable is terminated with a female FME connector. An FME to UHF PL259 adaptor is included in the kit for connecting to the PL259 socket found on most UHF CB radios.

Is the CBA6F1L suited to highway and regional road use?
Yes. The 6.0dBi gain and horizon-focused radiation pattern make the CBA6F1L well suited to long-distance communication across highways, open farmland, and regional roads where a focused, horizon-oriented signal projection provides the best range performance.
