Armoloq TPA-BH5 for Yaesu FTM-500 / FTM-510
Rugged two-piece aluminium protective mounting platform supplied with the PL-TNC/RA3 RF package and required TPA SLO spacers.
This package includes the TPA-BH5 protective frame, two required TPA SLO aluminium spacers, mounting hardware and the PL-TNC/RA3 RF components listed below.
Some images may show optional accessories that are not supplied. Please refer to the package contents below for the complete list of supplied components.
The Armoloq TPA-BH5 is a rugged two-piece protective mounting platform designed specifically for the Yaesu FTM-500 and FTM-510 series.
CNC laser-cut from 1/8 inch 5052 aluminium and finished in matte black powder coat, the wrap-around frame helps protect both the radio body and oversized control head while maintaining access to the controls, ports and ventilation.
The TPA-BH5 secures to the radio's eight factory side mounting holes and is suited to mobile installations, go-box builds and field deployments where additional protection and secure mounting are required.
Compatible with Yaesu FTM-500DR, FTM-500DE, FTM-510DR and FTM-510DE.
CNC laser-cut 1/8 inch aluminium with a durable matte black powder-coated finish.
Protects the radio body and oversized control head while maintaining normal access and ventilation.
Includes a right-angle RF lead, TNC bulkhead and TNC to BNC adaptor.
Built Around the FTM-500 and FTM-510
The two-piece TPA-BH5 uses the radio's eight factory side mounting holes to provide a rigid protective structure suitable for mobile, field and go-box installations.
The frame maintains access to the controls and display while leaving the radio's ventilation areas accessible.
TPA SLO Aluminium Spacers
Due to the deeper control head used on the FTM-500 and FTM-510 series, the two supplied TPA SLO spacers must be fitted. These 6061 aluminium spacers offset the protective platform correctly for the oversized control head.
PL-TNC/RA3 Plug-and-Play Package
The included PL-TNC/RA3 package provides a clean method of relocating the radio's RF connection for easier cable access in portable and mobile installations.
It includes a right-angle PL-259 to TNC male lead terminated with 1ft of RG58C/U, a TNC female bulkhead connector and a TNC male to BNC female adaptor.
