GME AE4706 2100mm Heavy Duty Radome Antenna 8.1dBi White

The GME AE4706 is a 2100mm white fibreglass radome antenna with 8.1dBi gain, part of the interchangeable AE470x series, featuring a heavy duty spring base, ground independent design, and a pre-terminated FME connector.

Product Overview

GME offers a range of rugged, heavy duty radome antennas, the perfect blend of style and performance. The AE470x series is an adaptable UHF CB antenna system with a range of spring bases and user-interchangeable whips, allowing you to quickly and easily switch between whips to suit the operating conditions and application.

The AE470x series includes a range of shorter length whips with lower gain for mountainous terrain or built-up areas, and longer length whips with higher gain for travelling on open roads or flat terrain. The AE4706 is a popular choice for the 4WD enthusiast requiring a robust antenna for hardcore off-roading or touring, and is also available in black as the AE4706B.

Features & Benefits

White Fibreglass Radome: The white fibreglass radome protects the internal whip element while maintaining a sleek, low-profile look.

Heavy Duty Spring Base: The heavy duty spring base is built for hardcore off-roading, absorbing knocks and impacts in the toughest conditions.

Interchangeable Whip: The whip can be swapped for other AE470x series options, allowing the gain and length to be matched to the operating conditions.

Ground Independent Design: The ground independent design performs reliably without depending on a specific vehicle ground plane.

Pre-Terminated FME Connector: The pre-terminated FME connector, with an included FME to PL259 adaptor, simplifies connection to a range of radio installations.

High 8.1dBi Gain: The high 8.1dBi gain and 2100mm length suit long distance communication across open roads or flat terrain.

Popular Choice for Hardcore Off-Roading: The AE4706 suits 4WD enthusiasts requiring a robust antenna for hardcore off-roading or touring.

Also Available in Black: If white doesn't suit your vehicle, the same antenna is available in black as the AE4706B.
