BASIC LIMITED EDITION · Complete Antenna Systems A complete or near-complete antenna platform for a documented operating objective. Why operators make room for it One system, more ways to get a useful signal on the air From a quiet campsite to an urgent communications site, the fastest path on the air starts with a system the operator already understands. CHA BASIC LIMITED EDITION packages a compact Chameleon antenna solution for operators who want a straightforward path from the vehicle or field bag to a practical portable HF deployment. For the operator, the payoff is a repeatable system that can move from transport to setup to verified operation without turning every trip into a new antenna experiment.

Complete product details Introducing the BASIC LIMITED EDITION series: BASIC LIMITED EDITION 30, BASIC LIMITED EDITION 60, and BASIC LIMITED EDITION 130. These high-quality entry-level antennas are perfect for anyone looking to get into the amateur radio hobby without spending too much on their first antenna. The series represents the latest evolution in our end-fed antenna wires, combining the best features of the renowned CHA EMCOMM II V2 and CHA EMCOMM III Base models to provide unmatched performance for both DX and NVIS communication. Overview The BASIC LIMITED EDITION antennas are designed for superior performance in a compact and versatile form factor. These antennas are perfect for amateur radio enthusiasts who demand high efficiency and reliability for emergency communications, portable operations, and everyday use. Product Variants BASIC LIMITED EDITION 30: 30' long end-fed antenna wire 20 gauge (Tinned Copper KEVLAR PTFE (Teflon) (-70°C to 150°C)) BASIC LIMITED EDITION 60: 60' long end-fed antenna wire 20 gauge (Tinned Copper KEVLAR PTFE (Teflon) (-70°C to 150°C)) BASIC LIMITED EDITION 130: 130' long end-fed antenna wire 20 gauge (Tinned Copper KEVLAR PTFE (Teflon) (-70°C to 150°C)) Key Features Broadband Coverage: Each model provides wideband HF coverage, supporting multiple bands, making them perfect for operators who need to switch bands quickly and maintain reliable performance across various frequencies. Please note that a tuner may be required. Compact and Lightweight: These antennas are designed to be easily deployable and transportable, making them ideal for field operations, camping, and emergency setups. Power Handling: The BASIC LIMITED EDITION series can handle up to 200W SSB or 100W CW and 50W DIGITAL, providing the power you need for robust communication. Weather-Resistant Design: Built to withstand harsh outdoor conditions, these antennas feature weather-resistant materials and construction, ensuring long-lasting durability. Impedance Matching: Equipped with a high-quality 5:1 UNUN (unbalanced to unbalanced transformer), these antennas excel at impedance matching. This transformer converts the high impedance of end-fed antennas to 50 ohms, ideal for modern transceivers. By reducing the Standing Wave Ratio (SWR), the 5:1 UNUN maximizes signal strength and efficiency, minimizing power loss and enhancing broadband performance across various frequencies. This ensures optimal power transfer, reduces RF interference, and supports multi-band usage. Constructed with durable, high-grade materials, our 5:1 UNUNs perform reliably in all conditions, delivering stronger, clearer signals and improving both transmission and reception quality. Easy Installation: The end-fed design allows for flexible installation options, including horizontal, vertical, and sloper configurations. This adaptability ensures you can set up your antenna in almost any environment.
