In plain language: Choose an MPAS READY feed line by connector path, frequency, length, loss, packed size, and whether common-mode suppression is already integrated.
Why this matters in a Chameleon system
Current Chameleon choices include RG-316 and RG-58 assemblies in several lengths with integrated feed-point choking on the documented versions. Ordinary operator-supplied 50-ohm coax may need a separate CHA RFI CHOKE.
Build or diagnose it this way
- Confirm both connector genders.
- Use the shortest practical safe cable.
- If the cable has the documented integrated choke, do not add the standalone CHA RFI CHOKE by default.
- For ordinary 50-ohm coax, follow the antenna recipe for separate feedpoint choking.
Wrong turns to avoid
- Adding two chokes because two product names appear in a component list.
- Choosing coax only by length.
- Assuming a station tuner cancels loss in a long mismatched line.
