Chameleon Antenna URT1 Universal Remote Tuner

The Chameleon Antenna URT1 is unique in that it can be used for coaxial cable or wire fed antennas. This wide-range tuner will match wire antennas, such as a vertical, random wire antenna, or a long wire antenna. It can also be used with coaxial-fed antennas, like an Inverted “V” or dipole. Also, the CHA URT1 does not need a transceiver-specific control cable, so it works with any brand or model of transceiver. The rugged Tuner Unit is weatherproof and designed to be permanently installed outdoors at or near the antenna feed point, so loss due to high SWR on the feedline is avoided.

The CHA URT1 covers 1.8 – 54.0 MHz and has 16,000 memories for quick recall and tuning with previously used settings. It can match any antenna with an impedance of 5 to 1,500 Ohms within seconds and can handle up to 125W SSB Phone & CW, 100W SSB Phone & CW on 50 MHz, 60W all other modes (see specifications). The CHA URT1 consists of two units: a Coupler Unit and the Tuner Unit.

The Tuner Unit is in a rugged weatherproof housing and contains the antenna matching network and controller. It is normally installed outside at or near the antenna feed point. The Coupler Unit contains the operator controls and status indicators. It uses a bias-T circuit to send power and control signals to the remote Tuner Unit over the connecting coaxial cable, so there is no need to order or install a separate transceiver-specific control cable. The Coupler Unit is intended to be installed inside near the operator and transceiver.
