Chameleon Antenna CHA Stinger Vertical Antenna Radial Kits

Chameleon Antenna CHA Stinger Vertical Antenna Radial Kits are an innovative solution for creating an antenna ground plane in space-restricted environments and they are ideal for situations where adequate, full size wire counterpoise radials are not feasible. By utilizing six durable 48 in. stainless-steel elements, this kit provides a robust, maintenance-free and easy-to-install alternative to traditional radial systems. These CHA Stinger Kits enhance the performance of HF vertical antennas by optimizing the radiation pattern, ensuring proper impedance matching, and improving signal quality.

Benefits

Efficient Ground Plane Creation - Serves as a compact ground plane for your HF vertical antenna. In typical HF vertical setups, radials are used to form a ground plane that enhances signal transmission and reception. The stingers in this kit act as elevated radials, providing a similar function in a more confined space. By using six 48" stainless steel stingers, this stinger kit effectively mimics the electrical properties of a traditional radial system leading to improved radiation efficiency and overall performance.

Stainless Steel Durability - Made of high-grade stainless steel, offering excellent resistance to corrosion and weathering. This makes the kit suitable for permanent outdoor installations, ensuring longevity and consistent performance regardless of environmental conditions and requires minimal maintenance, allowing you to focus on operating without frequent upkeep.

Space-Saving Design - Traditional radial systems can occupy a significant amount of ground space. The CHA Stinger Kit occupies a smaller footprint, making it ideal for urban or suburban environments where space is at a premium. Their compact design allows them to be installed in areas where horizontal space is limited, such as small backyards, rooftops and even portable operation will benefit from their space saving design.

Enhanced Signal Quality - The elevated ground plane created, helps to maintain an optimal radiation pattern for vertical antennas. This leads to better signal propagation and reception, particularly on the lower HF bands, where ground losses can be significant. Additionally, a well-defined ground plane aids in maximizing the transfer of power from the transceiver to the antenna.

Operational Efficiency – This elevated ground plane supports broadband performance, allowing for operation across multiple HF bands without the need for frequent adjustment.

Ease of Installation - The CHA STINGER KIT is designed for easy installation. The stingers can be quickly assembled and attached to the base of the vertical antenna, allowing for a hassle-free setup process. compatible with various HF vertical antennas, making it a versatile addition to any antenna setup. It can be used in both permanent and portable configurations, providing flexibility for different operating environments.

The included CHA CAP-HAT HUB makes this radial kit compatible with Chameleon vertical antennas as well as, other similar 3/8-24 in. threaded vertical antennas. Additionally, this CHA-STINGER-PERM radial kits mount easily to Chameleon and other 3/8-24 in. threaded mounts such as the CHA Carbon Fiber Tripod, CHA Spike Mount, CHA Jaw Mount, CHA Mast Topper and Porta Mast.
