Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between 27 MHz and 477 MHz for CB radio?

27 MHz is the frequency band used by traditional AM/SSB Citizens Band (CB) radio, which was the dominant vehicle-to-vehicle and recreational communication standard in Australia for many decades. 477 MHz is the frequency band used by UHF CB radio — the current standard in Australia for recreational 4WD, caravan, and farm communication. UHF CB operates on 80 channels and offers clearer audio, more channels, and generally better performance in built-up areas. The GME AB001 suits antenna types for both systems.

What is 5/16" TPI and what antennas use this thread?

5/16" TPI (threads per inch) is a standard thread specification for antenna bases. In Australia's CB and UHF CB market, the 5/16" antenna thread is one of the most common standards, used by GME and many other antenna brands. Before purchasing, confirm that your chosen antenna has a male 5/16" TPI base thread to ensure it will connect to this base correctly.

What mounting style does this antenna base use?

The mounting style for the AB001 is not confirmed in the available supplier data. Common antenna base mounting types include magnetic (non-permanent, sits on the vehicle roof), gutter mount (clamps to the door or window gutter), body hole mount (requires a drilled hole), and stud mount. Confirm the mounting method with GME or your supplier before purchasing.

Is a coaxial cable included with this base?

Cable inclusions are not confirmed in the available supplier data. Confirm whether a coaxial cable and PL-259 or BNC connector is supplied, or needs to be purchased separately, with GME or your supplier.

Will this base suit my GME TX6160 or TX3350 UHF radio antenna?

The AB001 is specified for 477 MHz UHF antennas, which covers GME's current UHF CB range. Confirm with GME that the AB001 is compatible with your specific GME antenna model before purchasing.
