/g/la1k/message/1257 yesterday,
with respect to the "Auto-Protect: SWR/Short Circuit/Over Temp" feature of the LA-1K, listed as part of its specifications on as of this writing, Paul NO0T writing, in part, "I didn’t notice I was getting too far from resonance and
SWR went to 2:1, it went to bypass to protect the finals.? Just as designed - woohoo! Gotta love it - dummy proof."
Paul's excellent observations, as stated above, demonstrating yet another case of
inferior design implementation found on the LA-1K amplifier, since
an SWR as high as 2:1 is acceptable!SWR reference material for all to consider:
