Armoloq TPA-897
*Please note that the TPA-897 was designed to accomodate the original battery tray supplied with the radio. The TPA will not fit with the Yaesu FP-30 internal power supply due to it's size and kickstand placement. The rubber or hard plastic pads at the rear of the radio will have to be removed in order to install the TPA.
Regarding tuners- Through holes were placed on the tuner side of the TPA to allow access to the radios original mounting holes. I was not able to have either the Yaesu FC-30 or LDG AT-897 tuners on hand when working the design so fitment of either unit is not confirmed.
*Base Package only includes the items listed in the description below
*Does not include rear RF adapters or coax. RF adapters and coax can be sourced thru various online vendors.

* Digirig users- You will not need the Data Relocation Package if you're running the DigiRig affixed to your TPA. The suggested installation is to utilize the appropriate cabling offered from DigiRig for your radio and dress the excess cable into the open area at the rear of the TPA.
