"This antenna system is first class. Very high quality materials and workmanship. Lightweight, compact size, high performance and perfect for portable use. I had a couple of early questions and the customer service was excellent. Very happy with this purchase!"

Robust Build and Flexible Design
"Great well-built antenna for home or portable operations. Deploys quickly, and covers all bands from 40 through 6 meters as advertised. The coil adjustment keys get you in the ballpark, but you really should use an antenna tuner to do fine adjustment to get in-band under your specific conditions. I observed wide band coverage for all but 40 meters (40 meters needed adjustment depending on the band segment I wanted to use). My setup includes a CHA SS INSULATOR and four 2-foot long segments (CHA SINGLE-EXT) so that I can work with elevated radials and different vertical length arrangements."
— David H. (5/5)
CHA PRV 2. 0
""I really like the new kit and the updated antenna. Although I understand the goal was a compact design, I do miss the two external pockets from the previous version. Regardless, the antenna performs awesomely. ""

Q&A
Portable resonant vertical system
Resonant performance you control at the operating site
Tune the antenna—not your expectations.
CHA PRV 2.0 is a field-tunable resonant vertical for operators who want low-SWR operation without relying on a wide-range antenna tuner. The adjustable MCC 2.0, SS58 whip, extension, and controlled artificial ground form a complete system that the operator tunes at the installed site.
Use the compact base-loaded or taller center-loaded arrangement from 40 through 10 meters, or reconfigure the supplied SS58 for the documented 6-meter vertical off-center-fed dipole. Optional MIL WHIP 2.0 and fully extended SS17 paths are guide-defined expansions; SS25 is not supported.
Coverage40-6 m, configuration dependent
ResonantLess than 2:1 SWR when tuned
Included returnFour 12.5 ft banana-plug wires
No SS25Not defined by the PRV guide

How the complete system goes together
Use this official visual to understand the product’s scale, component order, and documented deployment paths before choosing a configuration.

Choose the deployment, not just the hardware
Documented ways to use this system
Each card describes a complete guide-controlled path. Connector fit alone does not create another supported configuration.
SS58 base loaded
The shortest standard PRV arrangement for 40-10 m operation.
SS58 center loaded
Use one included SINGLE EXT, or the guide-defined two-extension option, to raise the loading coil.
6 m OCFD
Use the SS58 with the BLANK and without MCC or counterpoise wires as documented.
Tuning boundary: tune the completed installed antenna at low power. The SS17 is fully extended in the PRV/MCC path. Do not use SS25, and do not infer an electrical configuration from 3/8-24 thread fit.
