I have a 20A ~120V circuit with a single outlet for my LA-1K. These
are the amp's drive and output numbers into a dummy load.
5 in => ~150 out
10 in => ~270 out
15 in => ~400 out
20 in => ~500 out
25 in => ~600 out
30 in => ~700 out
35 in => ~800 out
Generally I run 10 or 15 watts input to a full-wave 160M loop using a
Palstar BT1500A tuner. After 17 months with amp I have no complaints
or concerns.

Hello Everyone
I will be picking up my new LA-1K sometime early in December.
A few questions for current owners.
I presently have a dedicated 120 V line into my shack, with a 15 amp breaker.
For years I ran an Ameritron AL-80A on this circuit, up to 800+ watts at tines with no issues.
So I am wondering if the LA-1K will be fine at reduced power output (700-800 watts PEP on SSB) on that same circuit.
I will eventually get around to running 220 into the shack once I pick up some wire etc etc.
But for now I would like to run it off the 120 V line.
Does anyone foresee any problems with that?
