Chameleon Basic Limited Edition (18m)

The Chameleon Antenna BASIC LIMITED EDITION 60, is a high-quality entry-level 60′ long end-fed antenna wire 20 gauge (Tinned Copper KEVLAR PTFE (Teflon) specified to -70°C to 150°C. The antenna 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.

BASIC LIMITED EDITION 60 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.

BASIC LIMITED EDITION 60 Key Features

Broadband Coverage: Provides wide-band 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 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.
