Rugged aluminium protective frame for the Yaesu FT-857 and FT-857D, supplied with one PL-TNC/RA3 RF Plug-and-Play Package for clean and convenient antenna connection.
If you require an N-Type connection for 2m/70cm, please select the appropriate option separately from the Accessories section.
The Armoloq TPA-857B is a rugged, precision-engineered two-piece protective mounting platform designed specifically for the Yaesu FT-857 and FT-857D transceivers.
Manufactured from CNC laser-cut 1/8" 5052 aluminium and finished in a matte black powder coat, the TPA-857B adds substantial protection and useful mounting capability for field, mobile, manpack and go-box installations.
Its wrap-around construction helps protect both the radio body and control head while maintaining access to the front-facing controls and connections. The frame secures directly to the FT-857 using the radio's four side mounting points and the supplied correctly sized mounting screws.
Purpose-designed around the Yaesu FT-857 and FT-857D chassis and side mounting points.
CNC laser-cut from 1/8" 5052 aluminium and finished in a durable matte black powder coat.
Helps protect the radio body and control head while retaining access to the controls and connections.
Supplied with one right-angle RF Plug-and-Play Package for convenient remote antenna connection.
Serious Protection Without Blocking Access
The TPA-857B surrounds the radio with a rigid aluminium structure designed to help protect vulnerable areas during transport, field operation and mobile use.
The frame attaches using the FT-857's four side mounting holes, creating a secure installation without requiring permanent modification to the radio.
Its open construction retains access to the radio's front-facing controls and ports, allowing the FT-857 to remain practical to operate while installed in the frame.
Cleaner Antenna Connections
This version of the TPA-857B is supplied with one Armoloq RF Plug-and-Play Package in PL-TNC/RA3 configuration.
The included assembly uses a PL-259 right-angle connector to a TNC female bulkhead with a 1ft length of RG58C/U coax. A TNC male to BNC female adaptor is also supplied.
The bulkhead arrangement allows the radio's antenna connection to be relocated to a more convenient position on the pack frame, helping with cable management, strain relief and faster connection in portable or mounted installations.
This kit includes the PL-TNC/RA3 RF package only. If you would also like an N-Type connection for the FT-857's 2m/70cm antenna port, select the appropriate RF package separately from the Accessories section.
