Overview

Chameleon Antenna CHA RXL Pro Receive Loop Antennas

Chameleon Antenna CHA RXL Pro Receive Loop Antennas are a new and improved high-performance Low Frequency (LF), Medium Frequency (MF), and High Frequency (HF) receive-only loop antenna that can be permanently mounted outside on a mast or a tripod. Its broadband design is ideal for Software Defined Radios (SDRs), panadapters, shortwave listeners (SWLs), AM broadcast band listeners and anybody wanting a small, low-noise receive-only antenna.

Receive loops are typically very quiet and highly directional. With its built-in preamplifier, you will experience better reception than many large horizontal wires or vertical antennas. The CHA RXL Pro covers all frequencies between 50 KHz and 30.0 MHz and is even capable of becoming a WSPR Reporting Station on the new 2200 and 630 meter bands so you can join in on the fun!
