Modular portable HF antenna system

Adapt the antenna to the mission

One field kit. Six ways to put HF on the air.

CHA MPAS 2.0 is one complete field system that changes shape with the mission. Use the same controlled kit as a fast manpack vertical, a taller portable vertical, or a 73-foot wire antenna for horizontal, sloping, inverted-L, or inverted-V deployment.

The system is built around the selected HYBRID MICRO or HYBRID MINI, a 73-foot antenna wire, 25-foot counterpoise, MIL 2.0 whip, MIL EXT 2.0, spike, choked coax, and field bag. Every documented configuration requires a suitable wide-range antenna tuner or coupler.

Coverage1.8-54 MHz with tuner
Six setupsTwo vertical and four wire configurations
SetupUnder 5 min vertical; under 15 min wire
Complete kit8 lb 12 oz

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.

Fast vertical

Deploy MIL 2.0 with the 25-foot counterpoise for the most compact manpack arrangement. Performance is limited below 7 MHz.

Taller vertical

Add MIL EXT 2.0 to reach 18 ft 1 3/4 in and improve the lower-frequency radiator length.

73-foot wire

Choose horizontal NVIS, sloper, inverted L, or inverted V to suit the available supports and desired path.

System boundary: MPAS 2.0 is the complete kit name, not an additional component. Build with its controlled components; do not describe an assembly as “MPAS 2.0 plus” another radiator when the intended part is the HYBRID, whip, wire, extension, or mount.

Governed NEC reference

Modeled peak gain by exact CHA MPAS 2.0 configuration

Use these values only for the exact modeled configuration and band shown. They are NEC simulation results in dBi, not guaranteed installed gain. Feed-system loss, matching loss, common-mode current, ground, height, nearby objects, and construction differences can change field performance.
