Antennas

A good antenna makes the difference between clear comms and dead air once you leave the bitumen. We stock GME UHF antennas, from elevated feed designs to heavy duty all terrain packs pairing 2.1dBi and 6.6dBi gain, plus Cel-Fi GO phone signal boosters for Telstra and Optus.

Order online with Australia-wide shipping, or have your antenna supplied and fitted at our Burwood workshop. Call 03 9808 8966 and the team will help you choose the right gain for where you travel.

Choosing an antenna

Gain is the big decision. Lower gain antennas, around 2.1dBi, radiate a taller signal pattern that suits hilly and timbered country, while higher gain antennas, around 6.6dBi, throw a flatter, longer pattern for open plains and highway running. That is why GME's heavy duty all terrain packs include both a 2.1dBi and a 6.6dBi option in the one kit.

Durability matters just as much off road. Heavy duty antennas are built to cope with scrub strikes and constant corrugations, and the mounting position affects real world performance as much as the antenna itself. If patchy mobile reception is your bigger problem, a Cel-Fi GO phone booster with its paired external antenna is the tool for that job.

Antenna FAQs

What dBi gain do I need?

As a rule of thumb, lower gain around 2.1dBi suits hilly or heavily treed country, while higher gain around 6.6dBi suits flat, open terrain. Many tourers carry both and swap depending on the trip. Call the Burwood team if you want a recommendation for where you travel.

What is the difference between a UHF antenna and a phone booster antenna?

They serve different systems. A UHF antenna works with your radio for vehicle to vehicle comms, while a Cel-Fi GO booster and its antenna amplify mobile signal from a specific carrier. Plenty of tourers run both.

Can Complete 4x4 fit my antenna?

Yes. We supply and fit antennas and phone boosters at our Burwood workshop, including mounting and cable routing. Order online with Australia-wide shipping or call 03 9808 8966 to book a fit.
