900mm Black Fibreglass Helical 27 MHz CB Antenna Pre-Tuned, Lightweight, Black Heat Shrink Finish

Product Overview

The GME AE2401 is a 900mm black fibreglass helical whip antenna for 27 MHz CB radio. Pre-tuned and ready to use, it is constructed from fibreglass with a black heat shrink finish and a helical internal wire element a lightweight, practical option for 27 MHz CB installations where a mid-length antenna is preferred.

At 900mm, the AE2401 sits between the compact 320mm AE2001 and the longer 1200mm AE2007, providing a balance of physical manageability and antenna length. GME recommends a good mounting location for best performance with this antenna..

Features & Benefits

  • 900mm black fibreglass helical whip — mid-length 27 MHz whip providing a practical balance of antenna length and physical size
  • Black heat shrink finish — black outer covering provides a clean appearance and weather resistance
  • Pre-tuned for 27 MHz — factory-tuned and ready to use without adjustment
  • Lightweight construction — fibreglass body keeps the antenna light for secure mounting
  • Best results with a good mounting location — antenna placement and ground plane quality directly affect 27 MHz CB range and performance

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the AE2401 compare to the AE2001 and AE2007?

The AE2001 is a 320mm black rubber whip; the AE2401 is a 900mm black fibreglass helical whip; the AE2007 is a 1200mm stainless steel base-loaded whip. The AE2401 is a mid-length option between the two, with the fibreglass/helical construction offering a lighter and more flexible antenna than the stainless steel AE2007.

What is the heat shrink finish for?

Heat shrink is a thermoplastic sleeve applied over the antenna body that shrinks when heated to form a tight, weather-resistant outer coating. It protects the internal components from moisture, UV exposure, and physical abrasion, while giving the antenna a clean, uniform black appearance.

What thread does the AE2401 use?

Thread type is not confirmed in the available supplier data. Contact GME or your supplier to confirm the base thread specification before selecting a compatible antenna base for the AE2401.

What does "good mounting location" mean for antenna performance?

Antenna location on a vehicle significantly affects 27 MHz CB range. Ideal positions provide a large ground plane beneath the antenna (for ground-dependent designs) and minimal obstruction in the transmission path. Roof-centre is typically optimal; lower or off-centre positions (such as bumper or gutter mounts) reduce the effective ground plane and may reduce range. The AE2401 description specifically notes that a good mounting location is important for best performance.

Is the AE2401 a whip-only purchase or does it include a base and cable?

Kit inclusions are not explicitly confirmed in the available supplier data. In GME's 27 MHz antenna range, most individual whip products are sold without a base or cable — confirm what is included with GME or your supplier before purchasing.
