Armoloq TPA-817B with RF Package (PL-TNC/RA3)
Rugged aluminium protective pack frame for the Yaesu FT-817, FT-817ND and FT-818, supplied with the PL-TNC/RA3 RF Plug-and-Play Package for portable and field operation.
Supplied with the right-angle RF lead, TNC bulkhead connection, BNC adaptor and relocation mounting hardware listed in the Package Includes section below.
The Armoloq TPA-817B is a rugged, precision-engineered two-piece protective mounting platform designed specifically for the Yaesu FT-817 and FT-818 series of radios.
Manufactured from CNC laser-cut 1/8" 5052 aluminium and finished in a matte black powder coat, the TPA-817B provides wrap-around protection for the radio while preserving access to important controls including MODE, BAND and the battery compartment.
Its compact protective design makes the FT-817 and FT-818 series particularly well suited to portable, manpack, SOTA, POTA and emergency communications installations where the radio may be transported and deployed regularly.
Designed specifically for the compact Yaesu FT-817, FT-817ND and FT-818 transceivers.
CNC laser-cut from 1/8" 5052 aluminium with a durable matte black powder-coated finish.
Provides a rigid protective structure while retaining access to key controls and the battery compartment.
Included RF package provides a convenient relocated antenna connection for faster and tidier portable setup.
Serious Protection Without Losing Access
The TPA-817B surrounds the radio with a rigid aluminium structure designed to help protect the chassis and control area during transport and field operation.
The frame secures to the radio using its eight side mounting holes and the supplied M2.6-0.45 x 8mm screws.
The open wrap-around design retains access to the top-mounted controls and battery compartment, allowing the radio to remain practical for portable operation once installed in the frame.
Built for Manpack and Field Operation
The compact FT-817 and FT-818 series are well suited to portable operation, and the TPA-817B adds a durable protective structure for installations where the radio may be carried, transported or deployed regularly.
This makes the frame particularly useful for SOTA, POTA, field communications, emergency communications and compact manpack-style systems.
Convenient Antenna Relocation
This TPA-817B kit includes the Armoloq PL-TNC/RA3 RF Plug-and-Play Package to simplify antenna connection and cable routing in portable installations.
The supplied RF lead uses a right-angle PL-259 to TNC male connection with 1ft of RG58C/U coax. A separate TNC female bulkhead connector provides the relocated connection point, with a TNC male to BNC female adaptor also included.
The supplied relocation mount and hardware allow the antenna connection to be positioned more conveniently, helping simplify setup and reduce unnecessary cable movement in the field.
