A field handbook should take the operator to the right source quickly. Assembly order, settings, power limits, and safety belong to the current product guide.
The CHA PRV 2.0 is designed for the operator who wants a resonant 40–6 m antenna without carrying a separate antenna tuner. Its standard field system combines the MCC 2.0, SS58 whip, 27 in SINGLE EXT, CHA BLANK, PUCK HUB, four 12.5 ft counterpoise wires, choked coax, Band Keys, and a selected MPAS READY mount.
What matters in this configuration
- Open the current CHA PRV 2.0 User Guide.
- Check the revision date before relying on a saved copy.
- Use the product-specific guide when a broader MPAS READY page or older document differs.
Why this choice matters
CHA PRV 2.0 is a compact, field-tunable resonant vertical system built around the continuously adjustable MCC 2.0 loading coil. The useful result comes from the complete documented system rather than any one threaded component.
The parts that make it a complete antenna
- CHA MCC 2.0 continuously adjustable loading coil
- CHA SS58 telescoping whip and 27 in CHA SINGLE EXT
- CHA BLANK feed point and CHA PUCK HUB
- Four 12.5 ft banana-plug counterpoise wires, winders, and tent stakes
- 12 ft RG-58 coax with an integrated RF choke
- Band Keys, tactical storage bag, CHA SS INSULATOR, and the selected mount option
Use the result in the field
Record the exact radiator, loading or feed-point hardware, return system, mount, feed line, band, dimensions, and final measurement. Repeatability is more valuable than a one-time low SWR reading.
Before you transmit
- Confirm the exact radiator and whether the MCC 2.0 is base loaded, center loaded, or removed for the 6 m OCFD.
- Use the documented counterpoise count and starting length for the selected band.
- Keep the supplied feed-line choke in the coax path.
- Set the MCC 2.0 from the guide or Band Key, then fine-tune the installed antenna.
- Inspect every mechanical and RF connection before applying operating power.
