Added height is your friend

"I used the CHA SINGLE-EXT set to raise my CDL off the ground stake by 54" putting the base of the antenna at eye level. Increased the efficiency of the antenna across all the HF bands I used today when compared to the last time I used the CDL on the ground stake alone. As part of the MPAS system they are compatable with my other CHA units."

Extensions

"Excellent product. Just what I needed to run POTA performer setups and elevate my delta loop. Also perfect with the as insulator."

Leland M. (5/5)

Purple for lifting the antenna up off the base

"I'll actually use these for my tactical Delta antenna to lift it up further. It works great. Very well made"

CHA Single-Ext 2 Pack

"Very high quality. I will be using it to create a center fed antenna using the mcc adjustable coil."

CHA single ext

"Great extension poles use it for extend CHA SS25 whip on Pota Dominator Antenna. Works well for me."

PERforms beautifully

"I've been getting into using the POTA PERformer style of antenna, which requires that the radiating element be elevated off the ground. I tried using the CHA-EXTENDER, but for as well made as they are, the thin body just doesn't hold up very well under a fully extended CH17. Enter the CHA SINGLE-EXT, with its thicker body and sturdier frame. Also, each unit of the SINGLE-EXT is 2' tall rather than the EXTENDER's 1', so a pair of two gives you the option of hoisting your telescoping antenna either 2' or 4' in the air. Combined with a spike mount and an isolator, the strong materials of the SINGLE-EXT make for a strong and dependable vertical even under modest winds. And while the strength is there to support my CH25 as well as my CH17, at 6' tall, I just don't have the height for tuning my antenna when it's up that tall! Combining a CH17 elevated on either 1 or both SINGLE-EXT in a ground spike, I was able to get <1. 1 SWR with just two elevated radials, just as a POTA PERformer promises. This has given me a new and powerful antenna configuration using my Chameleon products--and I'm sure those EXTENDER units will make great supports for the radials down the road."

CHA extenders

"Works as expected. High quality. Get the TDL off the ground."

Brad M. (5/5)

CHA SINGLE-EXT (PACK OF 2)

"This is a must have for doing different setups. Very high quality as are all Chameleon products."

James H. (5/5)

"Works great elevating CHA Tactical Delta Loop (TDL). Spike, SS Insulator, extension 27” x 2 (54” total), then TDL"

Q&A

CHA SINGLE EXT SHORT (PACK OF 2)

 

The CHA SINGLE EXT SHORT is a compact modular extension component designed for Chameleon Antenna systems, providing increased versatility while maintaining a highly portable and lightweight form factor. Built using the same rugged construction as the popular CHA SINGLE EXT, the SHORT version features extension rods that are approximately half the length, making it ideal for operators who require finer antenna length adjustments, improved portability, and deployment in space-constrained environments.

The CHA SINGLE EXT SHORT is compatible with numerous Chameleon Antenna products, including the CHA MPAS series, CHA PRV 2.0, CHA MCC 2.0, CHA V-DIPOLE, and other antenna systems utilizing a standard 3/8”-24 thread connection.

Key Features

Compact Length for Greater Flexibility

At only 13.5 inches per section, the CHA SINGLE EXT SHORT allows operators to make smaller, more precise antenna length adjustments than the standard CHA SINGLE EXT. This added flexibility helps optimize antenna performance for specific frequency ranges while maintaining a compact footprint.

Compatible with Multiple Chameleon Antenna Systems

The CHA SINGLE EXT SHORT seamlessly integrates with a wide range of Chameleon Antenna products, including:

  • CHA MPAS 2.0
  • CHA MPAS Lite
  • CHA PRV 2.0
  • CHA MCC 2.0
  • CHA V-DIPOLE
  • CHA SS58
  • CHA SS17
  • CHA SS25
  • CHA TDL
  • CHA BV (Basic Vertical)

The standard 3/8”-24 threaded connections ensure quick installation and compatibility with existing Chameleon Antenna components.

Ideal for Portable, POTA, SOTA, and EMCOMM Operations

The shorter length makes the CHA SINGLE EXT SHORT especially useful for:

  • Parks On The Air (POTA)
  • Summits On The Air (SOTA)
  • Emergency Communications (EMCOMM)
  • HOA-friendly antenna deployments
  • Mobile and temporary field installations

Operators can fine-tune antenna height and electrical length without carrying longer extension sections.

Enhanced Antenna Tuning Options

The CHA SINGLE EXT SHORT can be installed between antenna bases, loading coils, and whips to create customized antenna configurations. When used with products such as the CHA PRV 2.0 and CHA MCC 2.0, operators gain additional flexibility when optimizing performance across multiple HF bands.

Rugged Weather-Resistant Construction

Manufactured from high-quality anodized aluminum and stainless steel, the CHA SINGLE EXT SHORT is designed to withstand harsh outdoor environments while providing years of reliable service.

Operational Advantages

 

Fine-Tune Antenna Length

The shorter extension allows operators to make incremental adjustments to antenna length, helping improve resonance and tuning without the need for larger extension sections.

Improved Portability

With each section measuring only 13.5 inches, the CHA SINGLE EXT SHORT packs easily into backpacks, go-kits, deployment cases, and portable radio equipment bags.

Space-Conscious Deployments

The compact design is ideal for installations where overall antenna height must be minimized, including:

  • HOA environments
  • Portable operations
  • Mobile deployments
  • Limited-clearance locations
  • Stealth and low-visibility installations

Example Configurations

CHA PRV 2.0

Install the CHA SINGLE EXT SHORT between the CHA MCC 2.0 and your whip antenna to provide additional tuning flexibility and optimize operation across multiple HF bands.

CHA V-DIPOLE

Use one or more CHA SINGLE EXT SHORT sections on either side of the dipole assembly to customize element length and improve antenna performance for specific operating objectives.

Basic Vertical (CHA BV)

Install the CHA SINGLE EXT SHORT between the base assembly and an SS58, SS17, or SS25 whip to incrementally increase antenna length while maintaining portability.

Technical Specifications

  • Connector: 3/8”-24 Thread
  • Material: Anodized Aluminum and Stainless Steel
  • Length: 13.5” Each
  • Weight: 0.4 lb (One Section)
  • Weather Resistant: Yes

Package Contents

The CHA SINGLE EXT SHORT (PACK OF 2) consists of:

  • 2 × CHA SINGLE EXT SHORT

or

  • 4 × CHA SINGLE EXT SHORT

 

Whether you’re building a highly portable field antenna, optimizing a PRV 2.0 configuration, or customizing a V-DIPOLE deployment, the CHA SINGLE EXT SHORT provides the flexibility, durability, and modularity that Chameleon Antenna operators demand.
