CHA SS17 Stainless Steel Whip The CHA SS17 is a rust-resistant, 10-section stainless steel whip that extends to 17 feet and collapses to approximately 25 inches. Its premium stainless steel telescopic sections make it an ideal choice for building collapsible multi-band dipoles, mobile, portable, and base antennas. Features: Versatility: Perfect for travel, DXpeditions, vacations, EMCOMM, first responders, and more. Compatibility: Equipped with a 3/8-24 mounting stud for easy integration with other Chameleon products like the CHA HYBRID-MINI, CHA MICRO, CHA UCM, and CHA JAWMOUNT. Durability: Unique customer stainless-steel base connector (not traditional chrome-plated brass) pinned on the first section for ruggedness, stability under extreme winds, and excellent performance in demanding situations. Performance: Full ¼ Wave Operation: Operates on 20 meters without a loading coil and on 30/40/60/80/160 meters with a loading coil. Extended Reach: Can be combined with the CHA MIL EXT 2.0 to create a 28.5-foot extended whip. Additional guying support is recommended for this configuration, with the CHA UGS guy kit being ideal for this purpose. Compatibility with Other Systems: Compatible with CHA MCC, CHA PRV, POTA, or SOTA systems and is a component of the CHA MPAS LITE and CHA TDL antenna systems.
