GMEs Range of GMRS Antennas: What to Choose for your 4×4 and Why?

Setting up the comms for your overlanding 4×4 can be challenging. There are a heap of different options that all seem like they are the right one, but how do you know they are right for your needs? Take the guesswork out of the equation and look at a GME antenna for your GMRS set-up.

Currently, GMEs GMRS antenna offering is broken down into 3 categories:

heavy-duty radome antennas
medium-duty radome antennas
discrete antennas

Heavy-Duty Radome Antennas:

The GME heavy-duty range features the high-gain (6.6dbi) AE4705B-U and the low-gain (2.1dbi) AE4704B-U antennas. These antennas boast a rugged radome design and a heavy-duty spring base, making them the perfect choice for 4×4 enthusiasts who demand a robust antenna for hardcore off-roading and wheeling. The ground-independent design allows for easy installation in a variety of mounting locations, from bumpers to roof racks and anywhere in between.

Essentially, these antennas are designed for the hardcore 4×4 driver.

Medium-Duty Radome Antennas:

The GME medium-duty range features the high-gain (6.6dbi) AE4702B-U and the low-gain (2.1dbi) AE4707B-U antennas. These antennas have a rugged radome design and a medium-duty spring base, making them well-suited for overlanders who tackle the occasional tough terrain on their off-road adventures. Like the heavy-duty range, these are also ground-independent and can be installed in any location on your 4×4.

The medium-duty range is perfectly suited for the overlander.

Discrete Antennas:

GME also offers a discrete antenna, the low-profile AE9000-U. This low-gain antenna has a length of only 4” but does not compromise on performance with its 2.1dbi gain and ground dependent design.

This compact form factor is designed to be unobtrusive, perfect for those who do not have a bumper on their 4×4 or are after a covert installation, a popular choice with people who only travel offroad occasionally, or those who utilise their daily driver for their overlanding adventures.

GMEs discrete antennas are designed for occasional overlanders and for those who do not want a bulkier antenna on their 4×4.

All these antennas have been tried and tested in the harshest of Australian conditions and are guaranteed to provide overlanders with a robust and reliable antenna to suit their vehicle and off-road needs.

To complement the radome antenna range, GME also offers several accessories to make life on the trails easier and to prolong the life of your antenna setup.

The MB042B is a heavy-duty fold-down antenna mounting bracket, designed to allow for quick and easy tilting of your antenna to protect it from obstacles on the track or around town, as well as allowing you to easily park your 4×4 in your garage without hitting your antenna.

The CA005B/CA006B antenna base caps are an optional accessory that are extremely handy! These caps are designed to protect the antenna connection when the whip is removed, perfect for those who only use their 4×4 as a daily driver and do not wish to have the antenna visible or want to avoid damaging their antenna in metro areas.
