The GME 450MM VHF Ground Dependant Antanna is a compact yet powerful addition to any marine communication setup. Designed specifically for boaters who need reliable VHF performance without the bulk of full-size antennas, this 450 mm whip offers impressive signal clarity and range in a small, easily installable form factor.
Crafted with a UV-resistant fibreglass exterior and reinforced with a strong steel core, the GME 450MM VHF Ground Dependant Antanna is built to thrive in harsh marine conditions, including salt spray, UV exposure, and constant vibration. Its robust construction ensures longevity and resilience on open water, making it ideal for trailer boats, centre consoles, kayaks, and hardtop installations.
This ground‑dependant antenna relies on mounting to a metal surface to complete its electrical circuit, offering excellent radiation performance through a low-profile base. The compact size means it can be flush- or swivel-mounted on tight consoles, rails, or decks, making it an excellent solution for vessels where deck space is at a premium.
The antenna features an FME connector for simple tool‑free attachment and detachment. This convenient design allows users to quickly replace or store the whip when trailering, docking, or cleaning. A waterproof cap protects the connector when the whip is removed, preserving integrity in marine environments.
Performance-wise, the GME 450MM VHF Ground Dependant Antanna offers reliable tuning across the standard 156–162 MHz marine band, delivering consistent ship‑to‑ship, ship‑to‑shore, and emergency channel coverage. Despite its shorter size, it maintains strong signal strength and reception due to its ground‑dependent design and precision tuning.
The antenna comes pre-fitted with a 5‑metre low-loss coaxial cable, pre-terminated for quick radio connection. This ensures minimal signal loss and a clean installation without the need for additional cable or connectors. The compact footprint also keeps installations tidy and clutter-free, ideal for minimalistic helm layouts.
Whether you’re equipping a backup communication system, installing on a trailerable vessel, or seeking a low-profile antenna option, the GME 450MM VHF Ground Dependant Antanna delivers the performance you need in a space-savvy package. It’s the ideal choice for boaters who demand dependable VHF contact and clear audio without sacrificing space or appearance.
