Worldpouch for the FT-817
|
The Worldpouch™ modular design has two parts:
|
The
radio pouch is constructed of well-padded nylon,
with special front pockets to hold the antenna and and the optional
PowerPort 2.3 amp 12V power supply kit. The back of the pouch has two
steel belt clips to secure it firmly to your belt, or can also be
clipped onto the Worldpouch fanny pack which gives you ample room for
accessories and extra antennas. The mic-hanger can be clipped wherever is most convenient. Your microphone
locks into the mic-hanger and keeps it firmly in place until you need
it. Don't worry about losing your mic while running, climbing or any
activities that may dislodge a loosely attached mic.
For those of you who already own a
WorldPack™, you can purchase the radio pouch portion of the
Worldpouch™ to make the radio fit nicely into your WorldPack™, leaving
plenty of room for a tuner, accessories and larger power supplies.
The radio pouch clips securely to the center of the fanny-pack, making it a complete station on your hip. The fanny pack has two generous zippered accessory pouches, and multiple nylon webbing loops and tie-downs to secure everything from your extra antennas and coax, to a light jacket. The locking microphone hanger can be clipped onto any convenient spot. The fanny-pack is nicely padded for comfortable wear over long miles. The Worldpouch™ gives you an easy way to carry your FT-817 and your accessories on journeys on foot, in your car, on a plane, a train, or even on horseback!

The Worldpouch Power Supply Kit
You only need to run out of those expensive, non-rechargeable internal batteries for your FT-817 one time to know that you need one of these power supply kits. This fully rechargeable power supply kit consists of
|
a 12 volt , 2 amp hour lead-calcium cell (a few generations forward from the gel cell) that enables 5Watt output from your FT-817. | |
|
Connectors specific to the FT-817are provided to get you up and running in a flash. | |
|
Comes complete with a fast charger, able to recharge the power cell in three hours. |
The power supply fits perfectly in the front pocket of the Worldpouch with a conveniently designed wire pass-through between the power supply pocket and the radio pouch. And at a lightweight 23 ounces, the extra power is never a burden.
