Refer to plates (2) through (4) for steps (3) – (8).
3.
If attached, remove the Antenna Shackle (j)
from the Hybrid Micro Base (a) by loosening the
nut on the Antenna Shackle and then
unscrewing the Antenna Shackle from the
Antenna Connector (h). Store in a secure place.
Connect the Hybrid Micro Base.
4.
If using a counterpoise wire, place the terminal
lug of the Antenna Wire over the Counterpoise
Connection on the Hybrid Micro Base.
Plate 4. CHA JAW MOUNT.
5.
Screw the Hybrid Micro Base Counterpoise
Connection (i) into one of the 3/8” antenna
mount on the CHA JAW MOUNT or mobile
mount until finger tight.
6.
Connect a CHA RFI CHOKE and coaxial cable or
the Integrated RF Choke end of the CHA Coaxial
Cable assembly to the UHF Socket (g) on the
Hybrid Micro Base.
You will not be using the
UHF Socket (SO-239) on the 3/8” antenna
mount.
Raise the Antenna
7.
Extend the CHA MIL EXT by unfolding the middle
section of the extension, fully seating it onto the
bottom section, then unfolding the top section
and fully seating onto the middle section.
8.
Connect the CHA MIL EXT to the Hybrid Micro
Base by carefully screwing it into the Antenna
Connection until finger tight.
9.
Extend the CHA MIL WHIP by unfolding the
sections of the whip, starting with the section
above the bottom section, and ensure each
section is fully seated onto section below until
the whip is fully extended.
10.
Connect the CHA MIL WHIP to the CHA MIL EXT
by carefully screwing it into the top section until
finger tight.
Extend the Counterpoise.
11.
If not using a vehicle as the counterpoise,
extend the counterpoise wire along the ground
in any convenient direction. The end of the
counterpoise wire can be secured to the ground
with a tent stake.
12.
Perform operational test.
Recovery Procedure
To recover the CHA MPAS, perform the following steps:
1.
Disconnect the Coaxial Cable from the radio set.
2.
Lower the antenna to the ground or disconnect the Hybrid Micro Base (a) from the antenna mount.
3.
Disconnect the Coaxial Cable from the Hybrid Micro Base.
4.
Carefully roll (do not twist) the Coaxial Cable.
5.
Disconnect, wind, and store the counterpoise wire(s), if used.
6.
Untie the Paracord from the Hybrid Micro Base and Antenna Wire (b), as applicable and wind on line winder.
7.
Disconnect the antenna from the Hybrid Micro Base.
8.
Wind the Antenna Wire onto the Line Winder (e) and secure with attached shock cord.
9.
CHA MIL EXT: Starting at the bottom, pull the section apart from the section above and fold the section above
over the section below. Repeat until all sections are apart. Secure the sections together with provided sticky
strap.
10.
CHA MIL WHIP: Starting at the bottom, pull the section apart from the section above and fold the section
above over the section below. Repeat until all sections are apart. Secure the sections together with provided
sticky strap.
11.
Pull the Stakes from the ground, if used.
