Overview
GME AE4018K is a rugged, high-performance antenna whip with elevated feed to suit Australia's harsh conditions. This version of the AE4018 range combines a high quality elevated feed antenna base with GMEs most popular fibreglass whip. The whip is made from durable fibreglass with braid and precision wound copper element, black heat shrink and polished stainless steel ferrule and is secured to the ABL002 elevated feed base to provide 6.6dBi gain. It is a fantastic all-round antenna for use where a spring option is not required but will suit most mounting requirements and styling preferences.
Is the GME AE4018K 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 AE4018K 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.
