TPA-891 B

 

The TPA pack frame provides a modular platform for configuring your Yaesu FT-891 into a quickly deployable base, mobile, field or mil style man pack configuration.

 

The concept was to design an effective, small form factor frame that when installed, would allow relocation of all rear inputs, minus power and ACC connection, to the front of the radio, provide standoff at the rear of the radio for permanent cable attachment, and also provide protection when used in the field.  The pack frame also allows for the detachment of the control head without removal of the frame so it can be easily setup for remote mounting scenarios.

 

The relocation mounts provide a sturdy mounting point for attaching commercial or mil type VHF/UHF whip antennas. All accessory mounts are interchangeable and can be oriented to suit your operating situation.

 

The TPA pack frame is a 2 piece frame that is secured to the radio via the 4 side chassis mounting holes.  The frame is CNC laser cut from 5052 aluminum and powder coated with a matte black finish.  The TPA provides protection to the radio body and control head with a wrap around design while allowing access to all controls.

*Included in the hardware pack are 2 additional washers.  In order to maintain the ability to remove the control head while the TPA is installed, you’ll need to place these 2 washers between the TPA and radio body on the VFO side.  The TPA should not be installed without these 2 washers in place as they prevent lateral pressure from being applied to the control head.
