[Elecraft] [KX3] Re: Can't believe my Chameleon Antenna!

[Ken G Kopp]

Another two cents worth ...

A few years ago there was a dipole advertised in QST and other
places that claimed to be "broadband with a very low SWR on all
bands".  Turns out an XRAY of the junction box / center insulator
revealed a resistor (50 ohms?) in parallel with the coax connector
and the dipole. (;-)

73!

Excuse me for being ignorant...
Cut and paste from the Chameleon web page
"antenna base has an integral broadband impedance matching network allowing
broadband antenna tuning.
An external antenna tuner is required to provide a low VSWR."

I see very little difference between this antenna, a PAR EFHW
or any other EFHW that uses an impedance matching unit.

Just my 2 cents worth

Flame suit is ON.!!

Guido,

You're right! This is more than incorrect. Here is more YouTube of the
antenna in action:

The right website is http://chameleonantenna.com/

For real information about the product people can go, read and ask
questions to their hundreds of customers on their forum:
