  |
Radio Box shown with Yaesu FT-100 and
optional PowerPort power supply (Part# HPP8A)
The RadioBox ™. This is a separate, fully
detachable padded case that isolates and protects the radio and
optional PowerPort power supply from all of the other gear that you
need to carry in your pack.
|
Quick
release buckles give easy access to your radio. |
|
Inside,
your radio can be secured in a number of different positions with
adjustable Velcro straps. |
|
The
Radio Box has a padded divider that separates the radio compartment
from it’s power source. The divider is fully adjustable (or
removable altogether) to accommodate different sized components.
|
|
Wire
pass-through holes have fully finished edges and make connections a
snap. |
|
Two
sizes are available for the Radio Box:
 |
Standard: 17¼"L x 7¾"W x 3¼" D*
(440mm x 200mm x 80mm) fits any mobile radio such as the IC-7000, IC-706-MKIIG or the FT-100. |
|
Wide: 17¼"L x 8½"W x 3¼"D*
(440mm x 240mm x 90mm)
is designed to fit the new Yaesu FT-897. |
*These
are "soft" dimensions. This case is designed of laminated
polyethylene board, closed cell foam and nylon which offers both
impact protection and a degree of flexibility.
Therefore, if your radio is slightly larger in one dimension or
another, the pack can still fit quite well.
|
|
The
semi-rigid case construction of the RadioBox is firmly secured into
the DXpedition Pack by wide Velcro, but is easy to remove and carry
by its nylon webbing handle, if you just want to carry the basics.
The Radio Box can be opened and used as a perfectly serviceable
operating platform outside of the pack. It keeps the radio clean and
off the ground.
For the
Yaesu FT-817, you have the option to order the Radio Pouch (the
central portion of the Worldpouch) in place of the Radio Box. Its custom-designed fit,
and optional Worldpouch power supply are perfect for this
mini-mobile. It's belt clips slide onto rugged webbing on the
interior of the DXpedition Pack, and the pouch is further
secured by wide Velcro. |
 The
Radio Pouch™ is constructed of well-padded
nylon, with special front pockets to hold the antenna and the optional
PowerPort 2.3 amp hour 12V power supply kit. The back of the pouch has
two steel belt clips to secure it firmly to your belt or to the
interior of the DXpedition Pack. If you ever need to transport your
Radio Pouch outside of the DXpedition Pack in foul weather, a fully
waterproof rain cover is included, and fits neatly into its own pocket
inside the pouch. The mic-hanger can be clipped wherever is most
convenient. Your microphone locks into the mic-hanger and stays firmly
in place until you need it.
