Frequently asked questions

How does the AE4008 differ from the AE4007?
The AE4007 and AE4008 are functionally identical, sharing the same 600mm length, 6.6dBi gain, and ground-dependent design. The AE4007 is natural polished stainless while the AE4008 is black stainless. The AE4008 also confirms the 5/16" x 26 TPI thread in its source data, whereas the AE4007 did not confirm the thread.

What does black stainless steel mean on the AE4008, is it heat shrink or a different finish?
The AE4008 is described as a black stainless steel whip rather than stainless steel with black heat shrink, as used for the AE4002 and AE4006. This may indicate a black-coated or black-anodised stainless treatment rather than a heat shrink sleeve, though the specific finish method is not confirmed in the available source data. Contact us if the finish type is important for your installation.

Does the confirmed 5/16" x 26 TPI thread on the AE4008 also apply to the AE4007?
The AE4008 confirms 5/16" x 26 TPI. The AE4007 does not confirm a thread in its source data. As they are the same product in different colours, it is highly likely the AE4007 uses the same thread. Contact us before purchasing a base specifically for the AE4007.

What bases are compatible with the AE4008?
The confirmed 5/16" x 26 TPI thread is the standard Australian UHF CB thread, compatible with the GME ABL001 and other standard GME and compatible UHF CB antenna bases.

Is a base and cable included with the AE4008?
No. The AE4008 is a whip only. An antenna base such as the GME ABL001 and coaxial cable are purchased separately.
