PEP is just too high start with 15watts drive then move up. Monitor output power as you modulate the peaks. Good luck. It’s a wonderful Amp. ?

I’d take it down to 35 or 40 watts drive.?
I use about 3 watts FM to tune the ?tuner, then ramp it up to 35. Then go back to SSB, then take the amp out of standby

?Hello! I'm new to the group and my first post. Just picked up a new LA-1K yesterday and I'm driving with an Icom 7300 with 50 watts. If I speak too close into the microphone the amp displays "Overdrive" and stops transmitting. Is this normal for the amp to be so sensitive to voice peaks?? I guess I just have to learn to pay more attention to how I speak into the microphone.?
