GME AE2402 27MHz Antenna Whip, BLK F/Glass

1200mm Black Fibreglass Helical 27 MHz CB Antenna Pre-Tuned, Durable, Black Heat Shrink Finish

Product Overview

The GME AE2402 is a 1200mm (1.2m) black fibreglass helical whip antenna for 27 MHz CB radio. Like the shorter AE2401 (900mm), it is pre-tuned with a black heat shrink outer finish and a fibreglass helical internal element but at 1200mm it provides a longer radiating element for improved 27 MHz CB performance.

At the same physical length as the AE2007 (1200mm stainless steel base-loaded), the AE2402 offers an alternative in fibreglass helical construction lighter and more flexible than stainless steel.

Features & Benefits

• 1200mm black fibreglass helical whip — longer than the AE2401 (900mm); greater radiating element length for improved 27 MHz CB range
• Black heat shrink finish — weather-resistant outer coating for long-term outdoor use
• Pre-tuned for 27 MHz — factory-tuned and ready to use without adjustment
• Fibreglass construction — lighter and more flexible than stainless steel at the same length
• Durable — built to handle Australia's harsh outdoor conditions

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the AE2402 differ from the AE2401?

The AE2401 and AE2402 are the same construction — black fibreglass helical whip with black heat shrink — but at different lengths. The AE2401 is 900mm; the AE2402 is 1200mm. The longer AE2402 provides a greater radiating element length, which generally improves 27 MHz CB range.

How does the AE2402 differ from the AE2007?

Both are 1200mm 27 MHz antenna whips, but the AE2007 is a stainless steel base-loaded design and the AE2402 is a black fibreglass helical design. Stainless steel is heavier and more rigid; fibreglass is lighter and more flexible. The AE2007 specifies a ground-dependent design; the AE2402's ground dependence is unconfirmed. Both are pre-tuned for 27 MHz.

What thread does this antenna use?

Thread type is not confirmed in the supplier data. Contact GME to confirm the thread standard before selecting a compatible antenna base.

What does the fibreglass helical construction offer compared to rubber?

Fibreglass is more rigid and durable than rubber for antenna applications — less prone to UV degradation over time and more impact-resistant. The helical internal element (wire wound in a spiral pattern) allows the 1200mm physical length to achieve 27 MHz resonance. Compared to a rubber whip of similar length, a fibreglass helical antenna is typically more robust for off-road and outdoor use.

Are a base and cable included?

Kit inclusions are not confirmed in the supplier data for this product. In GME's 27 MHz antenna range, individual whips are typically sold separately from the antenna base and cable. Confirm what is included with GME or your supplier before purchasing.
