White 27 MHz Fibreglass Base-Loaded Helical Replacement Whip for the GME AE220

Product Overview

The GME AE220W is a white fibreglass base-loaded helical whip designed as a replacement for the GME AE220 antenna system. The "W" suffix denotes the white colour variant. Constructed from fibreglass with a helical (coil-wound) internal element, the AE220W is built to handle Australia's harsh outdoor conditions.

The whip is the replaceable element it attaches to the AE220 base assembly. The base, cable, and radio are not included.

Features & Benefits

  • Replacement whip for the GME AE220 — the AE220W is a genuine GME replacement for the whip element of the AE220 antenna system
  • White fibreglass construction — fibreglass is lightweight, durable, and resistant to corrosion and UV degradation; suited to long-term outdoor use in harsh Australian conditions
  • Base-loaded helical element — the loading coil is wound in a helical pattern at the base, achieving 27 MHz resonance at a practical physical length
  • White ("W") colour variant — suited to white vessels, vehicle bodies, or installations where a white antenna blends with the surroundings
  • Whip only — the AE220 base, cable, and radio are not included

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the GME AE220 antenna system?

The AE220 is a GME 27 MHz CB antenna system consisting of a base assembly and a whip element. The AE220W is a replacement for the whip element when it is damaged or worn, allowing the base assembly and cable to be retained. Confirm with GME that your specific AE220 variant accepts the AE220W replacement whip.

What is a fibreglass base-loaded helical whip?

Fibreglass is the outer casing material — lightweight, UV-resistant, and corrosion-proof. "Base-loaded" means the loading coil (which electrically lengthens the antenna to resonate at 27 MHz) is located at the base of the whip. "Helical" means the wire element inside the antenna is wound in a helical (coil/spring) pattern rather than running as a straight wire, which is a common construction method for compact loaded antennas.

What does the "W" suffix mean in AE220W?

"W" denotes white — the AE220W is the white colour variant of the AE220 replacement whip. A different colour variant (such as black) may also be available in the AE220 range — confirm with GME.

Is a black version available?

A black or other colour variant of the AE220 replacement whip may be available in GME's range. The AE220W is specifically the white version — confirm other colour availability with GME or your supplier.

Why might this item attract extra freight charges?

Antenna whips of this length are classified as oversized items by some freight carriers due to their elongated packaging. Some services apply dimensional surcharges for long, slim items regardless of weight. Confirm freight costs for your location before ordering.
