CHA HYBRID-MINI · Higher-power 5:1 UNUN matching unit
Broadband matching unit for documented HF configurations
Choose the HYBRID base when additional power capability governs.
The HYBRID-MINI uses an internal 5:1 UNUN to support documented wire and whip configurations from 1.8–54 MHz with a wide-range external antenna tuner. It is the higher-power member of the HYBRID family and weighs approximately 1.5 pounds.
Power is mode- and duty-cycle-specific. The lowest-rated item in the radio, tuner, feed-line, matching-unit, radiator, connector, and accessory path governs the completed system.
