GME AE2007 1200mm Stainless Steel Base-Loaded 27MHz CB Antenna Whip

A pre-tuned 1200mm stainless steel base-loaded whip antenna from GME, the AE2007 is designed for 27MHz CB radio use with a ground-dependent design suited to steel-bodied vehicles, offering greater radiating element length than compact rubber whip antennas. Whip only, sold individually.

Product overview

The GME AE2007 is a 1200mm stainless steel base-loaded whip antenna for 27MHz CB radio, from GME's pre-tuned 27MHz antenna range. The base-loaded design positions the internal loading coil at the bottom of the whip near the antenna base, electrically extending the antenna to resonance at 27MHz while keeping the physical length at 1200mm, a practical compromise between full-length performance and manageable size.

At 1200mm, the AE2007 provides more radiating element length than compact rubber whip antennas such as the AE2001 at 320mm, offering improved range in applications where a longer antenna can be accommodated.

The AE2007 is ground-dependent, requiring a ferrous steel vehicle body or mounting surface to provide the antenna ground plane. Whip only. The antenna base, coaxial cable, and radio are not included.

Features and benefits

1200mm stainless steel whip: Longer than compact rubber whip antennas, providing more radiating element length for improved 27MHz CB range.

Base-loaded design: The loading coil is positioned at the base of the antenna, allowing a 1200mm physical length to achieve resonance at 27MHz.

Stainless steel construction: Corrosion-resistant and durable, suited to harsh outdoor environments including coastal, marine, and off-road use.

Pre-tuned for 27MHz: Factory-tuned and ready to use without adjustment.

Ground-dependent design: Requires a ferrous steel mounting surface for correct ground plane.

Whip only: No base, cable, or radio included.

Frequently asked questions

What is a base-loaded antenna and how does it work?
In a base-loaded antenna, an internal loading coil is positioned at the bottom of the whip, near the antenna connector. The coil adds inductance that electrically lengthens the antenna element to achieve resonance at the target frequency of 27MHz without requiring the full physical quarter-wave length of approximately 2.7 metres. Compared to centre-loaded or top-loaded designs, base loading typically reduces peak efficiency slightly but provides a mechanically simple and reliable construction.

How does the AE2007 compare to the AE2001?
The AE2001 is a 320mm black rubber whip. The AE2007 is a 1200mm stainless steel base-loaded whip, approximately 3.75 times longer. The additional physical length of the AE2007 provides a larger radiating element, which generally translates to improved signal range. The stainless steel construction also offers better durability and corrosion resistance than rubber for long-term outdoor use.

What antenna base is compatible with the AE2007?
Thread type for the AE2007 is not confirmed in the available source data. Contact us to confirm the thread standard before selecting a compatible base. GME's ABL001 with 5/16" TPI thread, ground-dependent design, or the AD201 thread adaptor range may be relevant depending on the confirmed thread specification.

What does ground dependent mean for the AE2007?
The AE2007 relies on the vehicle's metal body as its electrical ground plane. Steel-bodied vehicles work correctly, while fibreglass, aluminium, and non-metallic surfaces will not provide the required ground plane and will result in poor antenna performance. For non-metallic surfaces, a ground-independent elevated-feed base such as the GME ABL002 is required instead.

How does the AE2007 compare to the AE2001?
The AE2001 is a 320mm black rubber whip antenna. The AE2007 is a 1200mm stainless steel base-loaded whip antenna. The AE2007 offers greater radiating element length for improved range, along with more durable stainless steel construction suited to harsh outdoor environments.
