This innovative antenna concept is designed to be the most versatile and rugged portable Very High Frequency (VHF) / Ultra High Frequency (UHF) antenna available and will enable the operator to communicate on CW and SSB using horizontal polarization and on FM simplex and repeaters using vertical polarization with one simple antenna whip change.

The Chameleon Antenna Portable Dual-Band Vertical/Horizontal Antenna is an ideal accessory for the Modular Portable Antenna System (MPAS) as part of a total portable communication system. It will greatly extend communications range when using a portable VHF/UHF hand-held transceiver (HT) as compared to the typical flexible whip “rubber duck” antenna. It is especially suitable for use when camping or in a Recreational Vehicle (RV), apartment, condominium, HOA, or inside an attic - anywhere you need portability or have limited space or restrictions against permanent antennas. It would also be useful as a backup base station antenna or for EMCOMM.
