rugged antenna systems. Its design has been
borrowed from similar antennas utilized by many
armies all over the world. The CHA MIL is very hardy,
sturdy and portable (being collapsible). Un-mounted
the entire antenna
length is less than 29”. The 5
aluminum sections are hold together by a piece of
1/8th inch US GI MIL SPEC shock cord. The CHA MIL
Whip and a CHA HYBRID-MINI Base perfectly
complements the capability of the CHA P-LOOP 2.0.
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 primary. 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 is a complete
multi-configurable HF broadband antenna system
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.
