Excellent whips
"Love their whips. . Have the 17' 25' & now the 58". Whips are stainless steel. Work great can use in so many different configuration in there mpas kits"
SS WHIP (58-17-25) · Radiators & Extensions
A modular radiator, whip, or extension used inside a documented antenna configuration.
Why operators make room for it
CHA SS WHIP (58-17-25): add the radiator or return path the documented system calls for
CHA SS WHIP (58-17-25) is a radiator or RF-return component used inside specific documented antenna configurations; it is not automatically a complete antenna by itself.
Our Stainless Steel Whips are rust resisted steel whips which extend up to 17 feet. Our whips are equipped with a 3/8x24 mounting stud for easy mounting to other Chameleon products such as the Hybrid Mini or Hybrid Micro. Modular field systems become valuable when one carefully chosen section can change what the complete antenna is able to do.
CHA SS WHIP (58-17-25) becomes valuable when its exact radiator or RF-return role is understood. Confirm where it attaches, which feed or matching component it works with, what support is needed, and whether it serves as a complete antenna, alternate radiator, extension, radial, or counterpoise. That context helps an owner expand a field kit deliberately instead of buying duplicate one-purpose hardware.
For an MPAS READY customer, the longer-term value is reuse. This product may participate in more than one documented configuration as the station grows, provided each path is verified for the complete antenna. Shared threads and connectors are useful mechanically; they are never enough by themselves to prove electrical compatibility.

- Best for
Modular field systems become valuable when one carefully chosen section can change what the complete antenna is able to do.
- What else you need
Combine it with the specified base, loading, feedpoint, mount, support, and radial or counterpoise system.
- Compatible with
- Compatible with a wide range of Chameleon Antenna products, making it a flexible addition to your antenna setup
- Easy Installation: Simple to set up and integrate into your existing antenna system, allowing for quick deployment and use
- Physical fit alone does not prove RF or structural approval
What an operator can do
- Use the part as an electrical radiator or mechanical riser only in the position documented by the completed-system guide.
- Combine it with the specified base, loading, feedpoint, mount, support, and radial or counterpoise system.
- Treat a shared thread as physical fit only; verify RF, power, and structural compatibility from an approved configuration.
Compatibility: Physical fit does not by itself establish RF, power, environmental, or structural approval. Follow a documented completed-system configuration.
