GME AE312B Ground-Dependent Antenna and Base - 600mm - AM/FM
Choose the 600 mm AE312B for AM/FM reception with the required ground-plane installation. This is the broadcast-radio version of the antenna and base, not the VHF or 27 MHz transceiver version. Confirm the metal surface and cable route before selecting the compact format.
The base needs contact with a metallic ground plane, such as steel or aluminium, of approximately 0.5 square metres or more. That installation condition is a defining feature of the AE312 family and should be checked before purchasing it for a non-metallic mounting location.
Keep the antenna cable away from transducer wiring and other likely sources of electrical interference, following the equipment guidance. Match the radio band as well as the length: the 27 MHz, VHF and AM/FM variants are separate products despite their related appearance. A ground-independent antenna is a different design.
Choosing and using this product
Keep the fitted antenna and base model references together in the boat’s records. That information is useful when replacing a damaged whip or choosing a compatible mounting component later.
Allow clearance for the full antenna length and any intended lowering or swivel movement. Consider the route through nearby structures and the space needed to access the base. For a replacement whip, confirm the connection to the existing base separately.
Follow the radio and antenna guidance for cable routing, connections and installation checks. Keep the cable and base accessible where practical for future inspection. Review the listed contents so a whip-only purchase is not mistaken for a complete antenna-and-base assembly.
For this version, length: 600mm. Use that specific detail when comparing the item with your existing equipment or planned installation. Other sizes and configurations in the range should be checked separately rather than treated as equivalent.
