CHA M25-Coil – 40M Loading Coil for SS25 Vertical
Â
Unlock the Power of 40 Meters with Your Basic Vertical (BV) Setup
The CHA M25-Coil is a rugged, high-performance 40-meter loading coil designed to dramatically expand the frequency coverage of your vertical antenna system. It’s the perfect companion for the CHA SS25 25-foot telescoping whip and seamlessly integrates with your MPAS-ready Basic Vertical configuration to create a resonant, quarter-wave, base-loaded vertical antenna on 40 meters.
Built with serious operators in mind, this coil brings simplicity and performance together—whether you're in the field, on a deployment, or operating under HOA restrictions.
Key Highlights
- Enables 40M Operation:Â Add the critical 40-meter band to your vertical antenna setup without changing your configuration.
- Bypass Feature: Switch instantly to 30–6M operation with a jumper (jumper not included)—no need to remove the coil.
- Purpose-Built for SS25:Â Optimized for the CHA SS25 25' telescopic whip for perfect matching and performance.

Power Considerations for Safe Use
- SSB Mode: Up to 200W for voice communication, which is beneficial for clear, powerful transmissions on lower HF bands.
- CW Mode: Up to 100W, suitable for modes requiring continuous or digital signal transmission. Monitor SWR and reduce power slightly in extreme heat or for extended operation.
Tips for Optimal Performance
- Radials: Always use radials appropriate for the frequency. More and longer radials improve grounding, especially important on 40 meters.
- Environment: Changes in terrain, moisture, and nearby objects may affect tuning. Periodic checks and adjustments can ensure the best SWR.
- Safety: Keep the setup away from people and RF-sensitive equipment, especially when operating above 10 watts.
This versatile setup enables efficient communication across multiple HF bands, whether for emergency, recreational, or portable operations, making the CHA M-COIL a valuable tool in field-deployable antenna configurations.
