Do you have a question about the Chameleon Antenna CHA PRV and is the answer not in the manual?
Direct and surface waves traveling along Earth's curvature, up to 90 miles.
Ionospheric reflection for long-distance communication, critical for HF.
Provides base-loaded inductance, adjustable for resonance.
The radiator for the antenna, 58 inches extended, 17.5 inches collapsed.
SO-239 socket for connecting coaxial cable to the coil.
Movable cover that adjusts loading coil impedance and resonant frequency.
Used to secure the Tuning Tube once resonance is achieved.
12 ft. RG-58 with integrated RF choke for connecting to the radio.
Mount driven into the ground for base support.
Basic antenna comes with four 12.5 ft. wires for grounding/counterpoise.
Mounts antenna to camera tripods or monopods.
Banana-style plug connecting counterpoise wires to the Puck.
Hub enabling connection of up to six counterpoise wires.
