GME AE4016 820mm Highly Flexible Slimline UHF CB Antenna 6dBi for 4WD and Agricultural Vehicles

An 820mm highly flexible 3.5mm slimline UHF CB 477MHz antenna from GME, the AE4016 delivers 6dBi gain with a ground-independent impedance transformer design, a complete antenna removable from base, and a 5m FME-terminated coaxial cable, designed and manufactured in Australia for 4WD and agricultural use.

Product overview

The GME AE4016 is a highly flexible 3.5mm slimline 820mm UHF CB 477MHz antenna with 6dBi gain, the 6dBi version of the slimline AE4015 at 2.1dBi. Like the AE4015, it uses a unique impedance transformer for ground-independent performance and allows the complete antenna to be removed from the base, reducing clearance issues when navigating rough terrain, vegetation, gates, and low overhead obstacles.

The highly flexible 3.5mm whip is specifically designed to reduce damage when travelling in rugged terrain, bending rather than breaking on contact with obstacles.

The AE4016 includes a mounting base, 5m coaxial cable, and FME connection. Designed and manufactured at GME's facility in Sydney, Australia.

Features and benefits

820mm highly flexible 3.5mm slimline whip: An extremely narrow 3.5mm profile with high flexibility, reducing damage from contact with vegetation, branches, and obstructions.

6dBi gain: Higher gain than the AE4015 at 2.1dBi, providing improved range for 4WD and agricultural use in flatter terrain.

Ground-independent design with impedance transformer: The unique impedance transformer base provides ground independence without requiring a steel vehicle body.

Complete antenna removable from base: The entire antenna can be removed from the base, not just the whip, minimising clearance issues when required.

Pre-terminated FME connector: The 5m cable terminates in FME.

Australian Made: Designed and manufactured at GME's Sydney facility.

5m low-loss coaxial cable and base included: Mounting base, cable, and FME connection supplied.

Frequently asked questions

Does the AE4016 kit include an FME to PL259 adaptor for radios with standard SO239 inputs?
The AE4015, the 2.1dBi sibling of this antenna, includes an AD503 FME to PL259 adaptor in the kit. Whether the AE4016 also includes the AD503 is not confirmed in the available source data. If your UHF CB radio uses a PL259/SO239 input rather than FME, contact us to confirm whether the AD503 is included or needs to be purchased separately before ordering.

How does the AE4016 compare to the AE4015?
The AE4015 is a 350mm slimline 2.1dBi UHF CB antenna for ATVs and agricultural vehicles. The AE4016 is an 820mm slimline 6dBi version, longer for higher gain and improved range, but maintaining the same slimline 3.5mm flexible whip design, ground-independent impedance transformer, and removable antenna philosophy. Choose the AE4016 for better range in flatter terrain, or the AE4015 for the most compact clearance profile.

What does the 3.5mm diameter slimline whip mean practically?
At 3.5mm diameter, the AE4016 whip is significantly narrower than standard UHF CB antenna whips, which typically range from 5mm to over 10mm. This extreme slimline profile reduces wind resistance, reduces the chance of snagging on vegetation, and provides very high flexibility, allowing the whip to deflect significantly from upright without damage.

What does complete antenna removable from base mean on the AE4016, is this different from a removable whip?
In the AE4015, only the whip element is removable. The AE4016 allows the complete antenna to be removed from the base, with both the whip and the transformer housing lifting away from the base mount, leaving only the lowest base component attached to the vehicle. This provides even greater clearance reduction when required.

Is the AE4016 Australian Made?
Yes. The AE4016 is designed and manufactured at GME's dedicated facility in Sydney, Australia. GME highlights local manufacturing as enabling them to tailor products specifically to Australian operating conditions.
