Chameleon Antenna CHA PRV 2. 0

"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!"

Paul H. (5/5)

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."

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

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.
