I’m a new Ham with an FT-817 that I’m kitting out for mobile (POTA/SOTA) operation. I’ll be a transitional radio as I play and learn, so I’m hoping to not put too much $ into the current radio  

I’m looking for mobile ft-817 accessories – encoder protectors, digital mode hardware (FT8 and similar) and radio specific cables (CAT, etc). Suppliers are falling away as the radio is out of production, and I’m hoping to avoid spending yet more $$ on USPS/UPS/etc  from the few suppliers that are left.

If you’ve got useful accessories hanging on to an old FT-817 that’s collecting dust … please drop me a line.
