HYBRID-MICRO · Feed Systems & Loading
A matching, loading, feedpoint, transformer, choke, or antenna-interface component.
Why operators make room for it
CHA HYBRID-MICRO: put the matching function in the right complete system
CHA HYBRID-MICRO performs a specific feed or matching job inside a documented complete antenna system; a new buyer should choose it for that electrical role, not merely because its connectors or threads fit.
The HYBRID-MICRO Antenna is a lightweight highly portable broadband antenna system designed to offer maximum portability and performance. The antenna weights about 1 lb. The antenna will operate at all frequencies in the 1. 8-54 MHz band without any adjustment with most modern external antenna tuners.
CHA HYBRID-MICRO earns its place by performing a specific electrical job at the feed point. Select it from a verified complete-system path, because connector fit alone cannot establish impedance transformation, frequency coverage, power handling, common-mode behavior, or a safe mechanical installation. Once its system role is clear, an abstract component becomes an understandable station decision.
Choose it when its specific job removes a real point of friction from the station, and confirm what else is required before ordering. The best next step is always a verified compatible component or documented expansion—not a random accessory that merely looks related.

- Best for
The most visible part of an antenna is rarely the part doing the matching, loading, or current control that makes the deployment usable.
- What’s included
- 1 X HYBRID-MICRO Matching Unit Base
- 1 X 30',60', or 130' Tinned Copper KEVLAR PTFE (Teflon) (-70°C to 150°C) wire
- 1X Line Winder
- Stainless Steel Hardware
- What else you need
A wide-range antenna tuner or coupler is required for the documented configurations
- Limitations
- Observe the lowest published rating of every connected component
- The antenna will operate from 1.8 - 54 MHz (including 160m – 6m amateur bands) without any adjustment with a wide range antenna tuner (the shortest configurations have limited performance below 3.5 MHz).
- Carefully roll (do not twist) the Coaxial Cable.
- We recommend that you do not disassemble the CHA CAP HAT.
- Replace assemblies that do not pass a continuity check.
- Expansion options
- CHA MIL WHIP 2.0
- CHA MIL EXT 2.0
- CHA SS 17
- CHA SPIKE MOUNT
- CHA Jaw Mount
- Capacity Hat
- Counterpoise Kit
- 50’ Paracord and Line Winder Assembly
What an operator can do
- Install the component at the documented feedpoint, loading position, or common-mode control location.
- Observe the lowest published power rating of every connected component and the duty-cycle limits for the operating mode.
- Verify resonance, SWR, tuner range, connector type, and grounding or counterpoise requirements before transmitting.
Complete product details
The HYBRID-MICRO Antenna is a lightweight highly portable broadband antenna system designed to offer maximum portability and performance. The antenna weights about 1 lb.
The antenna will operate at all frequencies in the 1.8-54 MHz band without any adjustment with most modern external antenna tuners. No masts or guying are required.
The antenna will work successfully supported by trees, masts, the tops of vehicles or any convenient object or structure. The antenna works most effectively when elevated at a reasonable height.
