Chameleon Antenna CHA SINGLE-EXT Antenna Extensions enhance the range and versatility of antennas like the CHA-BV and other MPAS configurations. They improve resonance and efficiency across various HF bands, making them ideal for portable and field use. The extensions are a practical addition to Chameleon Antenna’s modular systems, enhancing HF performance for emergency communications, field operations, or recreational use.

Two different sizes are available:

Long: 27 inches

Short: 13.5 inches

Key Features:

• Extended Coverage: Increases antenna length for better resonance at lower frequencies, especially beneficial for 40-meter and 30-meter bands.

• Compatibility: Works with various Chameleon Antenna components (e.g., CHA SS58, CHA SS17) via a 3/8-24in. threaded connection, allowing for easy customization.

• Durable Design: Weather-resistant and built for rugged environments, ensuring reliable performance outdoors.

• Portable: Lightweight and easy to transport, perfect for field operators and portable setups.

• Operational Advantages:

  • Improved Propagation: Increased length enhances ground wave and skywave propagation for better performance at various distances.

  • Adjustable Configuration: Easily installed between the base component and chosen whip to extend the antenna’s length, adapting to changing conditions.

Example Configuration:

• In a Basic Vertical (CHA BV) Setup, either of the CHA SINGLE-EXT extensions can be used as follows:

  • Setup: Connect the extension to the CHA BLANK base, then attach the SS17 or SS25 whip to the extension.

  • Enhanced Coverage: This setup increases the effective length of the antenna, improving resonance on lower HF bands like 40 meters, especially when paired with a loading coil.

  • Field-Friendly: Maintains a compact profile and can be quickly deployed, ideal for field operations where efficient use of space and setup speed are essential.
