GME AE312H 27MHZ Ground Dependent Antenna

GME AE312H 600mm 27MHz CB Antenna Kit with Quick Fit FME and 5M Coaxial Cable

A complete pre tuned 600mm 27MHz CB antenna kit from GME, the AE312H includes the antenna assembly, 5 metres of coaxial cable, a quick fit FME connector, and plug, using a ground dependent design for tool free installation.

Product overview

The GME AE312H is a 600mm 27MHz CB antenna from GME's pre tuned 27MHz range. Unlike the whip only products in this range, the AE2001, AE2401, AE2402, and AE2007, the AE312H is a complete kit. The antenna assembly, 5m coaxial cable, FME connector, and plug are all included, making it ready to install with a compatible FME equipped base or mounting system.

The quick fit FME connector allows the antenna to be connected without tools. The AE312H uses a ground dependent design and is pre tuned at the factory.

The AE312H is a companion to the AE312B, which is the AM/FM variant of the same kit format. Both are complete antenna assemblies with the same box contents.

Features and benefits

600mm 27MHz CB antenna: A compact length suitable for 27MHz CB installations where a shorter antenna is preferred.

Pre tuned: Factory tuned for 27MHz, requiring no adjustment.

Ground dependent design: Uses the vehicle's metal body for ground plane, requiring a ferrous steel mounting surface.

Quick fit FME connector: The FME connector allows tool free antenna installation and removal.

Complete kit: Antenna assembly, 5m coaxial cable, FME connector, and plug all included.

5m coaxial cable: Provides routing length for most vehicle and vessel installations.

Technical specs

Compatible with

The AE312H is compatible with 27MHz CB radios with FME or compatible antenna input, and steel bodied vehicles and vessels for ground plane. The GME AD5xx FME adaptor range is compatible where a non FME radio input is used.

Frequently asked questions

What is the quick fit FME connector on the AE312H?
FME, Female Miniature Equivalent, is the compact connector used throughout GME's antenna system. Quick fit means the FME connector is designed for fast, tool free connection and disconnection, allowing the antenna to be installed or removed without crimping or soldering tools. This is the same connector type used across GME's ABL01x marine antenna base range.

How does the AE312H compare to the AE2001, AE2401, and AE2402?
The AE2001 at 320mm, AE2401 at 900mm, and AE2402 at 1200mm are all whip only products that do not include a base, cable, or connector. The AE312H is a complete 600mm kit including antenna assembly, 5m coax, FME connector, and plug. The AE312H uses FME connectivity, while the other whips use thread based bases. The AE312H is the right choice for a complete, FME connected 27MHz installation, while the other whips suit installations where a thread based base and separate cable are already in place.

Does the AE312H kit include everything for a complete installation?
The AE312H includes the antenna assembly, 5m coaxial cable, FME connector, and plug. A compatible mounting position with a ferrous steel surface for ground plane is required. A 27MHz CB radio is not included. If the radio uses a non FME antenna input, a GME AD5xx series adaptor will be needed to bridge the connector types.

How does the AE312H relate to the AE312B?
The AE312B is an AM/FM antenna in the same kit format, with a 600mm antenna base, 5m coax, FME connector, and plug. The AE312H is the 27MHz CB equivalent. Both are complete antenna assemblies with the same included components, but for different frequency applications.

Does ground dependent mean I need a steel mounting surface for the AE312H?
Yes. A ground dependent antenna relies on the vehicle's or vessel's metal body as the electrical ground plane. Steel body panels and structural steel are suitable. Fibreglass, aluminium, and other non metallic surfaces will not provide the required ground plane, resulting in poor antenna performance.
