vehicles or any convenient object or structure. The
CHA TD can also be used without antenna tuner, as
the SWR will stay under 2.5:1 between 10M and
80M and under 2.75:1 on 160M.
CHA FT-817 BRACKETS 2.0
–
CHA FT-817 Brackets
are built exclusively by the skilled machinists of
Chameleon Antenna
TM
. It is a military-style pair of
precision fabricated brackets and high quality
carrying strap for the popular Yaesu FT-817 series
portable QRP transceiver. The CHA FT-817 Brackets
will ruggedize and help protect your FT-817 from the
many hazards of field operations.
CHA MIL EXT Whip Extension -
The CHA MIL EXT
whip has been designed to offer maximum
portability and performance for those already using
the portable CHA MIL whip for man-pack antenna
system. This collapsible antenna extension needs to
be used with the CHA MIL to create a 17’4” long
portable antenna. When combined with any HYBRID
series antenna bases the CHA MIL EXT will operate at
all frequencies in the 1.8-54 MHz band without any
adjustment with most modern external antenna
tuners.
CHA TD Tactical Dipole LITE -
The CHA TD LITE
(Tactical Dipole LITE) is a HF broadband antenna
specially designed for portable HF communication
where rapid deployment and simplicity of operation
is essential but compactness is primordial. The
antenna will operate at all frequencies in the 1.8-54
MHz band without any adjustment with most
modern external antenna tuners. No masts or guying
are required.
CHA TD Tactical Dipole -
The CHA TD (Tactical
Dipole) Antenna has been designed as an add-on for
the CHA HYBRID - MINI / MICRO. The CHA TD is a HF
broadband antenna specially designed for portable
HF communication where rapid deployment and
simplicity of operation is essential. The antenna will
operate at all frequencies in the 1.8-30 MHz band
without any adjustment with most modern internal
antenna tuners. It is ideal for use in conjunction with
modern, digitally configured, HF communication
transceivers where features such as ALE and
frequency
hopping
require
true
broadband
capability. No masts or guying are required. The
CHA TD can also be used without antenna tuner, as
the SWR will stay under 2.5:1 between 10M and
80M
and
under
2.75:1
on
160M.
