CHA V-DIPOLE

Portable Resonant “V” Dipole Add-On Kit for the MPAS READY Ecosystem

The CHA V-DIPOLE is a compact, resonant portable HF antenna system designed to transform existing Chameleon Antenna MPAS READY and Tactical Delta Loop components into a highly capable portable “V” Dipole covering 40 through 6 meters.

Built around the modular MPAS READY ecosystem philosophy, the CHA V-DIPOLE allows operators to reuse many of the same components they may already own — including SS17 telescopic whips, loading coils, HUB assemblies, mounting systems, adapters, and tripods — to rapidly configure a completely different portable antenna system tailored to their operating mission.

Unlike broadband compromise antennas that typically require antenna tuners, the CHA V-DIPOLE is a resonant antenna system that can provide low SWR operation on 40–6 meters when properly configured and tuned.  This provides operators with a simple, efficient, and highly portable field antenna solution for amateur radio portable operations.

The low-mounted “V” Dipole geometry is specifically optimized for portable deployment. The angled “V” configuration helps keep the whip ends farther away from the ground compared with some compact low-mounted antenna layouts, while also reducing the horizontal footprint required for operation.  This makes the CHA V-DIPOLE exceptionally practical for:

• Portable HF operations
• POTA and SOTA activations
• Emergency communications
• HOA environments
• Campgrounds
• Temporary field deployments
• Off-grid communications
• Tactical portable operations

The compact footprint and modular architecture enable rapid deployment and easy transport without requiring large support structures or permanent installations.

The CHA V-DIPOLE supports multiple deployment methods including:

• Surveyor Tripod configurations
• Spike Mount setups
• UCM mounting systems
• Portable field setups
• HOA-friendly temporary installations

Covering 40–6 meters, the CHA V-DIPOLE utilizes different whip extension lengths and loading coil configurations to provide resonant operation across multiple amateur HF bands.
