Gents

Today I started using my LA1K and HF Auto Tuner with my IC 7300 running FT 8. I noticed the amp running around 50c after a while so I put it in stand by for a while and resumed operation. Does anyone know if the LA1K has any problems with FT 8 operation?

Mine is 2yrs old purchased direct from pal star, never a glitch.? I drive it with 40 watts from a ten tec omni7 and get 800 to 1k out.? Ant is a zero 5 40 meter vert fed with 213 coax. Swr is pretty flat across 40 and 15 meters. Great amp

Gents, points well taken... There goes to show.. consumers are definitely at a major disadvantage relying solely on publicly available feedback relating to user experiences with various products marketed in the open market.? Oh btw, I am keeping my LA-1K, same way I did my 2016-vintage Ameritron ALS-600S, for their respective good attributes.
