Product Description

Everything you need to know about the product

The GME AE4705B is part of the versatile AE470x antenna series — an adaptable UHF CB antenna system built around a range of spring bases and user-interchangeable whips. This modular design lets you quickly switch between whip configurations to suit your operating conditions and application without tools or specialist knowledge.

The AE470x series covers a wide range of driving environments: shorter whips with lower gain suit mountainous terrain or built-up areas, while longer whips with higher gain maximise range on open roads and flat terrain. At 1200mm with a 6.6dBi whip, the AE4705B sits at the top of the range for maximum open-country performance.

The AE4705B is GME's most popular antenna for the 4WD enthusiast who needs a robust, dependable antenna for hardcore off-roading and touring. The black fibreglass radome construction provides excellent durability, while the heavy-duty spring base absorbs the shocks and vibrations of serious off-road use. The ground-independent design delivers reliable performance regardless of vehicle body type, and the pre-terminated FME connector simplifies installation and connection to your radio. The AE4705B is also available as a Twin Pack (AE4705BTP).

In the Box

  • 6.6dBi Antenna Whip (AW4705B)
  • Heavy Duty Spring Base (AS004B)
  • 4.5m Lead Assembly (ABL004)
  • FME to PL259 Adaptor (AD503)

The AE470x series is compatible with the XRS™ Connect ecosystem. XRS™ Connect products are software-upgradable via the XRS™ Connect app, with GME committed to releasing at least one upgrade per year. Through the app, you can create and share scan lists, manage channel profiles, and access the full AU/NZ registered analogue frequency database from your phone.

UHF CB radios are widely used for communication in vehicles, boats, and during outdoor activities such as camping and hiking. The three main power outputs are 5-watt, 1-watt, and 0.5-watt. Five-watt radios provide the greatest range — up to 20 km in good conditions — and are favoured by professional drivers, emergency services, and those covering long distances. One-watt radios cover up to 5 km and suit short-range vehicle-to-vehicle or group communication. Half-watt radios are best suited to close-range personal use within a small group, covering up to 1 km.

Everything you need to know

A deep dive into our industry-leading technology and high-performance standards.

Can I swap the AW4705B whip for a different gain whip?

Yes — the AE470x series is built around interchangeable whips. You can swap to any compatible AE470x whip without replacing the spring base or cable assembly.

Is there a Twin Pack version of the AE4705B?

Yes. The AE4705BTP is a Twin Pack version of the AE4705B, ideal for setups that require two antennas.

Why would I choose 6.6dBi over a lower-gain whip?

Higher gain antennas like the AE4705B provide greater range on flat, open terrain. If you spend most of your time on open roads or flat outback country, 6.6dBi will give noticeably better performance. In mountainous or built-up areas, a lower-gain shorter whip is often more suitable.

Does the AE4705B require a ground plane?

No. The ground-independent design means it works reliably on any vehicle body type without a ground plane connection.

What lead and adaptor are included?

The AE4705B includes a 4.5m lead assembly (ABL004) and an FME to PL259 adaptor (AD503), covering most standard UHF CB radio connections.
