PTT Wing Kit: Route Your Comms Button on a Plate Carrier

Decide where the button should live before you mount anything

A push-to-talk button that sits under your ATAK device or crowds the front of your carrier creates two problems: you can't see the screen cleanly, and the button is easy to snag. The PTT Wing Kit solves both by giving you two mounting wings—one for an FCPC chest panel and one for MOLLE, which is useful for cummerbund placement.

Before installing, decide which location matches your setup. The chest wing pushes your PTT out of the way of your ATAK device. The cummerbund wing clears the button off the front of your carrier. Both options support a clean, snag-free setup and let you run a dual PTT configuration on your support-hand side.

What the kit includes

• PTT Wing Kit: The PTT Wing Kit includes two mounting wings: one for the FCPC chest panel and one for MOLLE, perfect for cummerbund use. Having both wings means you can choose the location that fits your carrier and comms setup without buying separate parts.

  

• PTT Wing Kit: Each wing features multiple holes for direct mounting and larger holes for shock cord retention, giving you flexibility and hot-swap capability in the field. Direct mounting keeps the wing secure, while shock cord retention lets you swap or adjust PTTs quickly.

How to install the PTT Wing Kit

The supplied information describes the mounting options but does not include a step-by-step procedure. The following steps are a practical sequence based on the kit's features—use your own judgment and follow any manufacturer instructions that come with your PTT and carrier.

1. Choose the wing for your location: Use the FCPC chest panel wing if you want the PTT off your ATAK screen. Use the MOLLE wing if you want the PTT on your cummerbund or another MOLLE area.
2. Mount the wing: Each wing has multiple holes for direct mounting. Secure the wing to your chest panel or MOLLE using the appropriate hardware for your carrier. The kit does not specify hardware, so use what your carrier or PTT manufacturer provides.
3. Attach your PTT: The kit is compatible with the Wave Relay MPU5 PTT, Invisio V10, V20, and V60, and the Atlantic Signal 21GC. It is also compatible with other PTTs when using the included shock cord and cord locks. Route the shock cord through the larger holes to retain the PTT.
4. Route the cable and check clearance: With the PTT in place, confirm the button is accessible with your support hand and that the cable does not interfere with your ATAK device or other gear. Adjust the shock cord tension as needed.

Chest panel vs. cummerbund: which wing when

The chest wing is the right choice when your ATAK device sits on your chest and you need the screen unobstructed. It moves the PTT to the side while keeping it within reach. The cummerbund wing is better if you prefer the button off the front of your carrier entirely—useful when you're running a dual PTT setup and want one button on your support-hand side.

Both wings are included, so you can experiment with both locations or run one on each side for a dual PTT configuration.

Compatibility notes

• PTT Wing Kit: Compatible with Wave Relay MPU5 PTT, Invisio V10, V20, V60, and Atlantic Signal 21GC. These are the PTT models confirmed to work with the kit. If you use a different PTT, the included shock cord and cord locks may still allow compatibility.
• PTT Wing Kit: Compatible with other PTTs when using included shock cord and cord locks. This gives you flexibility if your PTT is not on the direct-mount list, though you should test retention before field use.

What the supplied information does not cover

The kit's supplied details do not include a specific installation procedure, torque values, or hardware requirements for direct mounting. They also do not state whether the wings are compatible with every FCPC chest panel version or every MOLLE layout. If your carrier or PTT is not listed, check with the manufacturer before relying on the kit for a safety-critical or mission-critical setup.

The PTT Wing Kit is made in the USA and is available in Coyote Brown and Black.
