Overview

CHAMELON ANTENNA CHA MPAS Lite Modular Portable Antenna Systems

CHAMELON ANTENNA CHA MPAS Lite is the little brother of the CHA MPAS 2.0. The Modular Portable Antenna System is a concept allowing the radio operator to configure and deploy the antenna system in a variety of configurations. Some of the possible deployment configurations include Vertical, Horizontal, Sloper, Inverted V, Inverted L, NVIS, Balcony, Vehicle (Stationary) and Backpack Portable.

The MPAS Lite antenna system consists of:
• 1 X CHA HYBRID-MICRO Feedpoint with SO-239
• 1 X 60 ft. Wire
• 1 X SS17 (17' long collapsible stainless steel whip)
• 1 X CHA SPIKE
• 1 X CHA 50 ft. coax with RFI choke
• Stainless Steel Hardware
Longer antenna wires, counterpoise and carry bag are user supplied.

The integral broadband impedance matching network transformer of the CHA HYBRID-MICRO allows broadband antenna tuning. These antennas will operate from 1.8 - 54 MHz, continuous, without any adjustment when using a wide range antenna tuner (the shortest configuration has limited performance below 3.5 MHz).

Here are the CHA MPAS Lite details:
Frequency: (all configurations require a wide range antenna tuner)
* CHA HYBRID MICRO with 60 ft. wire and customer supplied counterpoise: 1.8 MHz through 54 MHz
* CHA SS17 TELESCOPIC WHIP: 24-54 MHz (whip only)
* CHA HYBRID MICRO, all configurations: 50 W (CW, AM, FM, RTTY), 100 W (SSB and SSB-based digital modes)
RF Connection:
* UHF Female on CHA HYBRID MICRO (SO-239)

Use of SS17 WHIP is NOT RECOMMENDED for permanent installations.
