GME AE4017K1 780mm Elevated-Feed Ground-Independent UHF CB Antenna Kit Black Stainless

An elevated-feed UHF CB 477MHz antenna kit from GME in black, the AE4017K1 combines the AE4017 black stainless steel coil whip with the ABL002 elevated-feed base, delivering ground-independent performance at 780mm total length for bull bar, gutter, or fender mounting positions.

Product overview

The GME AE4017K1 is an elevated-feed UHF CB 477MHz antenna kit in black, a ground-independent elevated-feed antenna using the AE4017 black stainless steel coil whip and the ABL002 elevated-feed base. At 780mm total, it suits installations where roof drilling is not preferred or where non-roof mounting is required on bull bars, gutters, or fenders, while maintaining ground-independent performance.

Important: GME states this antenna is not recommended for installation on diesel 4WD vehicles.

Features and benefits

Elevated-feed, ground-independent design: The ABL002 stainless elevated-feed base provides ground independence without requiring a steel roof or body-mounted ground plane.

780mm total length: Suitable for bull bar, gutter, and fender mounting positions.

3.5mm stainless steel coil whip: A sturdy coil-wound stainless wire element.

Ground independent: Suitable for fibreglass, aluminium, and non-metallic surfaces.

ABL002 elevated-feed base included: The stainless steel elevated-feed base with BSW thread is included.

Not recommended for diesel 4WD vehicles: See FAQ for further detail on this restriction.

Frequently asked questions

Why does the AE4017K1 show both 6.6dBi and 4.5dB, is this a data conflict?
These two values refer to the same antenna measured using different reference standards. dBi measures gain against a theoretical perfect omnidirectional point source, while dBd measures gain against a standard half-wave dipole. Because a dipole itself has approximately 2.15dB gain over isotropic, the conversion is 6.6dBi minus 2.15, approximately 4.45dBd rounded to 4.5dBd. Both figures refer to the same antenna.

How does the AE4017K1 differ from the AE4012K2?
Both are elevated-feed UHF CB antenna kits with ground-independent design. The AE4012K2 includes the ABL002F, an FME pre-terminated elevated-feed base, a light duty spring (AS001), and an AD503 FME to PL259 adaptor, with an 860mm total length. The AE4017K1 uses the ABL002 base, stainless with BSW thread and connector not confirmed as FME, and is 780mm. Contact us to confirm full kit contents of the AE4017K1, and whether an AD503 adaptor is included.

What does the ABL002 provide compared to the ABL002F?
The ABL002 is the stainless steel elevated-feed base without a specific FME pre-termination, while the ABL002F is the FME-terminated version of the same base. Both provide the same BSW thread, elevated-feed ground-independent design, and 4.5m low-loss foam coax. The ABL002F specifically includes the FME connector for compatibility with GME's fast-fit marine antenna ecosystem, while the ABL002 connector type requires confirmation with us.

Why is the AE4017K1 not recommended for diesel 4WD vehicles?
The diesel vehicle restriction is consistent with the AE4012K2 and AE4017 listings. GME recommends against mounting stainless steel coil whip elevated-feed antennas on the bull bar of diesel vehicles due to potential electromagnetic interference from modern diesel injection systems such as common rail and piezoelectric systems, which can affect UHF CB performance when the antenna is in close proximity to the engine bay. Roof, gutter, or fender positions away from the engine are recommended for diesel vehicles.

What is included in the AE4017K1 kit?
The available source data confirms the ABL002 elevated-feed base and the AE4017 stainless coil whip are included. Full kit contents, including any FME-to-PL259 adaptor, spring, or other accessories, are not fully confirmed. Contact us before purchasing.
