My FT-857D TTP pack with #armoloq frame,
@digirig installed. 2m whip at 5 watts repeater test 40 miles away, good signal report back. #hamradio

@amatecha I really like that #armoloq frame, they make good kit.

Progress on my portable/offgrid #radio kit. #Yaesu FT-857D with #Armoloq pack frame, #Digirig for digital modes, and soon a 10ah LiFePo4 battery. Probably will use an old ThinkPad X230 for the computer side of things… maybe. Not the best power efficiency. Still need to decide on a bag, maybe PRC 117G pouch (molle ftw). Not to mention solar panels and a charge controller. Still considering options there as I of course want to support multiple loads (such as lights, computer charging, etc.)

Happy to be a pilot end-user of the first production run of the TTP Manpack produced by @thetechprepper1@twitter.com. It is custom-made for a #Yaesu FTM-6000R mobile #hamradio in an #Armoloq frame. No janky hodgepodge of pouches! No wires sticking out!

The FTM-6000R manpack is alive! Time for field testing.

Who's ready for some real world voice and packet experiments?
