UPDATE:
This intermittent OVERLOAD issue was driving me crazy. However, I think I may have resolved the issue. Time will tell.
When it was on SSB I was getting RF clipping reports on my transmit audio. So, I decided to redo all my interconnecting cables between my IC7610, LA-IK, and HF-AUTO. I also changed all the cable lengths, some shorter and some longer. It's been 48 hours now and my LA-1K has not tripped into OVERLOAD once. Keeping my fingers crossed, maybe this resolved the issue.
