Description: CHAMELEON V2 HF/VHF/UHF Multiband Antenna™
Covers 6m, 10m, 11m (Citizens Band), 12m, 15m, 17m, 20m,
30m, 40m, 60m & 80m +2M/1.25M/70cm (144MHz – 500MHz)
Description:
As our excellent CHAMELEON V1 HF/VHF/UHF Multiband Antenna™,
the optimal antenna length for Ham Radio frequencies is 102”
as this represents one quarter of a wavelength. However,
mounting a 102” (8.5 foot) antenna to a vehicle is usually
not always an option. The V2 is made for vehicles without
available strong antenna mount support locations, height
restrictions due to low overhead obstacles or just an
esthetical look. Made of premium fiberglass tubing and at
approximately 4’2” high, our CHAMELEON V2 HF/VHF/UHF
Multiband Antenna™ has been designed specifically to address
those very common problems. Designed with a similar coil
traps system technology used for the Chameleon V1, the
Chameleon V2 doesn’t require any adjustments on the antenna
after installation. To change the operating band the
operator will only have to activate an antenna tuner. The
Chameleon V2 is 50% smaller that our Chameleon V1 and offers
an HF/VHF/UHF antenna alternative for Ham operators desiring
to have HF/VHF/UHF capability on their vehicles. Due to its
short length (4’2”), the better the ground plane, the higher
the antenna on the vehicle and better will be TX/RX
performances. Good mobile antenna knowledge and proper
antenna installation (grounding and ground plane) are
required for good Chameleon V2 performances. Mounting
location is a difficult topic to advise upon due to each
individual’s unique circumstances and preferences. As for
general guidelines and optimal performances, 2/3 of the
antenna should be above the roofline. An antenna mounted
higher on the vehicle tends to perform better. And it will
be critical that the antenna mount be well grounded to the
vehicle chassis because it is the “metallic” masse right
under the antenna and not on the side of it that define a
good ground plane.
