for rapid-response communications and spontaneous field operations.
Key Features
- Fast Deployment — Go from packed to fully operational in under 2 minutes with the included spike mount, whip, and hybrid base.
- Highly Configurable — Supports a wide range of setups:
- Vertical whip (single or dual)
- Horizontal whip (NVIS operations)
- Sloper wire
- Inverted “V” and inverted “L”
- Standard NVIS wire configuration
- Balcony rail mount
- Stationary vehicle mounting
- Man-pack vertical whip
- Technical Specs:
- Frequency Range: 6 m to 160 m
- Mount Thread: 3/8–24
- Weight (without bag): 3.6 kg
- Maintenance Tip — Waterproof whip joints (MIL EXT 2.0 and WHIP 2.0) for long-term installs. Apply Ideal NOALOX or equivalent anti-oxidant compound for improved aluminum performance.
MPAS READY Ecosystem Compatibility
As part of the broader MPAS READY system, the MPAS 2.0 follows a streamlined four-step modular assembly method:
- Select a Mount (spike, tripod, clamp, etc.)
- Choose a Base (Hybrid-Micro, Hybrid-Mini, MCC coil, or BV adapter)
- Pick a Radiator (whips or wires)
- Add Counterpoises as needed
This ensures fast, repeatable deployments whether you’re operating EMCOMM, POTA, SOTA, tactical field ops, or stealth HF in HOA-restricted environments.
