Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between 27MHz and 477MHz for CB radio?
27MHz is the frequency band used by traditional AM and SSB Citizens Band CB radio, which was the dominant vehicle communication standard in Australia for many decades. 477MHz is the current Australian UHF CB standard operating across 80 channels, offering clearer audio and better performance in most environments. The AB001 suits antenna types for both systems.

What is 5/16" TPI and what antennas use this thread?
5/16" TPI refers to the thread diameter and pitch of the antenna base connection point. It is one of the most common antenna thread standards in the Australian CB and UHF CB market and is used by GME and many other antenna brands. Confirm that your chosen antenna has a male 5/16" TPI base thread before purchasing.

What mounting style does the AB001 use?
The mounting style of the AB001 is not confirmed in the available source data. Common antenna base mounting types include magnetic, gutter mount, body hole mount, and stud mount. Contact us to confirm the mounting method before purchasing.

Is a coaxial cable included with the AB001?
Cable inclusions are not confirmed in the available source data. Contact us before purchasing to confirm whether a coaxial cable is supplied or must be sourced separately.

Is the AB001 compatible with antennas from other brands?
The AB001 uses a standard 5/16" TPI thread which is common across many Australian CB and UHF CB antenna brands. Antennas from other brands using the same 5/16" TPI thread specification may be compatible. Confirm thread specification with your antenna manufacturer before purchasing.
