VERDICT Chameleon MPAS vs Alpha EZ Military Comparison
Both use 5:1 unun, just different wrappings.
Alpha has 13' vertical, Chameleon 10.8'
Both comes with a jaw mount, chameleon is fancier
Alpha comes with a counterpoise, chameleon??
Price point:
Alpha starting at 287
Chameleon starting at 315.
If you're crafty or savvy enough you'll use the 60' wire (radiator) as counterpoise. Also it's important to notice that Chameleon Antenna is using 16 gauge PTFE wire (Teflon) for all their product.
Please advise me to what is a good replacement mic for my SR-497HPC... Answer: 497 is "wired like Cobra", so many choices available. That radio does not need a power mic, so purchase a stock "coffin style" mic with a decent cord, like the ones that Astatic uses. The Superstar DM-507 is my go-to. https://www.ebay.com/itm/3050474478...adANq91JSiEEnz8EGqPJRBloTgEyaVsBoCtoMQAvD_BwE $12.99 + .99 cent shipping.
