4. If used, place the terminal lugs of the
counterpoise wires over the Counterpoise
Connection (i) on the Hybrid Base. You can use
either the Antenna Wire (b) or optional
Counterpoise Kit.
5. Screw the Hybrid Base Counterpoise Connection
into the 3/8” antenna mount of the Jaw 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 Base.
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 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 the 3/8” base stud into the
top section until finger tight.
Extend the Counterpoise
11. 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.
High Efficiency Portable Vertical
The CHA HYBRID - MINI / MICRO and optional CHA MIL WHIP with CHA MIL EXT and Cha CAP HAT High Efficiency
Portable Vertical configuration, see figure (6), is a broadband short to long range HF/VHF-LO antenna. This
configuration, which is especially designed to be portable, is omnidirectional and provides ground wave
communication on frequencies between 1.8
– 54.0 MHz without using sky wave propagation. It also provides sky
wave propagation, especially above 11 MHz. The capacity hat improves efficiency by causing the current in the
antenna to be higher, thus reducing ground loss. This is important when using relatively short antennas on lower
frequencies.
