    ### GME AE312V Ground-Dependent Antenna and Base - 450mm - VHF

The AE312V is the shorter 450 mm VHF option in the ground-dependent antenna range. It includes the base and requires the stated metallic ground plane, so a compact length does not remove the installation requirement. Match the radio band and the mounting surface together.

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

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.

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.

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: 450mm. 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.
