All:
I spent some time at the Palstar booth at the Hamvention on Sunday and was pretty impressed with what I saw. The result was that I picked up an LA-1K to replace the AL-1200 I've been using for a while and that I sold that morning. Unfortunately I didn't sell enough of my mil equipment to also get an IC-7610, so I'll have to slum it with my IC-7300 for a bit yet.
Regarding the change from the AL-1200 to the LA-1K, I didn't have ALC connected with the AL-1200 since there was no way the IC-7300 was going to overdrive that amp. So, I'm now trying to tie down the ALC base level adjustment on the LA-1K and am not sure yet what I'm seeing. I probably should also revisit the compression and mic levels on the 7300.
Is anyone using an IC-7300 or similar that can give me some direction or general direction on setting the ALC with the LA-1K.
It was funny though, I was testing the amp into my dummy load and when I switched to 40 Meters and didn't notice it had switched to my PRO-67B. Someone heard me testing and jumped in pretty much falling over himself to say how good it all sounded. Thought I'd better ID at that point.
Palstar, that's for the great amp!
