Overview
GME AE4012K1 is a rugged, high-performance antenna whip with elevated feed to suit Australia's harsh conditions. When mounting options are limited, or you prefer not to put a hole in the centre of your roof, then the elevated feed style of antenna suits the best. This version includes a sturdy 2.5mm wire diameter coil whip with the ABL002 elevated feed base and 4.5 metres low loss coaxial cable.
Elevated feed antennas provide high performance in virtually any mounting position. The elevated feed design helps raise the radiating element above the vehicle roof or other obstructions to provide a strong, omnidirectional pattern and high performance when mounted on a vehicle gutter, fender or bull bar.
The ability to remove the 6.6dBi whip and replace it with a smaller 2.1dBi option allows for a broader radiation pattern which is less likely to be affected by obstacles.
These antennas are a popular choice for the heavy vehicle industry and agricultural vehicles.
As with all stainless steel whips of this style, it is not recommended for installation on diesel 4WD vehicles.
Is the GME AE4012K1 Antenna Right for me?
Alongside considerations of Installation requirements, you need to consider the Gain Rating of your Antenna and how it will impact your use.
The AE4012K1 from GME is a 6.6dBi/medium-gain antenna, providing a more rounded, broader pattern than a high gain (8.1dBi) antenna or unity gain antenna (2.1dBi). Meaning the signal is less likely to be obstructed by obstacles such as buildings, trees or mountains. These factors make a medium gain antenna the best choice for those in suburban areas and the countryside.
