Chameleon Antenna FSR Faraday Strip Radial System

The Chameleon Antenna FSR Faraday Strip Radial System gives field operators a compact, MPAS‑READY radial and counterpoise solution that boosts efficiency, improves safety, and packs easily into any portable setup. At only 3 pounds and stored as two 6x4-inch bundles, the FSR offers significant performance improvements over traditional wire radials without adding bulk or complexity. Each Faraday Strip is built from a multi‑layer composite structure that pairs a Copper–Nickel–Polyester conductive fabric core—woven in a multidirectional diamond pattern—with durable TAN 900D Oxford outer layers for UV, moisture, and abrasion resistance. Three brass grommets on every strip maintain strong mounting points and consistent electrical continuity across the system.

Includes:

• Two 20-foot Faraday Radial Strips

• Four Tent Stakes

• CHA FSR-A Special Stainless Steel 3/8-24-inch Coupling Adapter

• Attachment Hardware

• Two Ball Bungee Cords

Key Performance Advantages

- Measured Field Strength Increase: Early field tests recorded a 23%–28% median gain in relative field strength versus the standard four 12.5ft. wire radials included with the BV and PRV systems.

- Low‑Impedance Ground Plane: The broad Faraday conductive surface reduces ground losses and stabilizes current distribution.

- Improved Radiation Pattern: The diamond‑woven conductive fabric supports uniform, omnidirectional signal performance.

Compatibility & Hardware

• Fully MPAS‑READY and compatible with Chameleon vertical systems such as the SS17, SS25, MPAS, and MCC

• Includes a stainless‑steel 3/8‑24 coupling adapter with:

  • 3/8‑24 male thread (bottom) for mounting

  • 3/8‑24 female thread (top) for bases like CHA BLANK, CHA HYBRID, and CHA MCC,

Simplified Deployment

1. Attach Faraday Strips using the included hardware

2. Lay them out in an “X” pattern for balanced omnidirectional performance

3. Secure the ends with the included tent stakes

Durability & Safety Benefits

• High‑Visibility TAN Fabric: Far more visible than thin wire radials—reducing trip hazards around pets, children, or groups.

• Reinforced Construction: Resistant to kinking, breaking, or damage from foot traffic.

• Field‑Repair Friendly: Wide contact surfaces and layered materials make repairs faster and easier than thin wires.

Faraday Fabric Technical Specifications

• Fabric Thickness: 0.078mm

• Surface Resistance: Below 0.05-Ohms

• Material Composition: Copper, Nickel, Polyester

• Woven Type: Diamond Pattern

Compact. Lightweight. Powerful. The CHA FSR delivers tested performance improvements, universal compatibility, and rugged portability — making it the ultimate radial solution for today’s portable vertical antenna systems.
