Start with the decision: Choose CHA MCC 2.0 when a documented resonant vertical with manual coil adjustment, an exact supported whip, and a controlled artificial RF return fits the mission better than a broadband tuner-dependent configuration.
What changes the result
The exact MCC recipe controls whip type, coil location, feed point, SS INSULATOR, mount, feed line, artificial RF return, initial setting, final tuning, power, and support.
The mistake to avoid
SS25 is not documented with MCC 2.0/PRV 2.0. A 3/8-24 fit, tuner match, or remembered coil position does not authorize a new recipe.
Use this practical sequence
Choose one documented build, assemble and inspect it with RF removed, deploy its exact return, sweep broadly at low power, make one adjustment at a time, and record the final installed setting.
