I hope Paul will correct me if I am wrong, but so far as I can
tell the only thing that makes the LA-1K "the perfect match"
because of "custom-designing" to the HF-AUTO is that they share
identical cabinets.? Beyond that, both are stand-alone devices
capable of being used with any transceiver or any amplifier.?
There are no special connections or communications that make their
compatibility superior.
I excite the LA-1K with an FT-991A, do not use ALC to control
power output, and do my matching with the HF-AUTO.? There is
nothing special about the hook-ups.?
When first purchased, my LA-1K would kick out of OPERATE into
BYPASS for no apparent reason even with HF-AUTO showing a perfect
match.? When several of us complained to Palstar about the same
issue, they reworked the firmware and the amplifier has worked
perfectly ever since.
Your HF-AUTO would work fine with your Acom 700S or any other
amplifier.
I own six Palstar products and consider them all to be of the
highest quality.

I have the HF-Auto and am looking to get an amplifier. Naturally
the first one I am considering is the LA-1K. Palstar's web site
says: "Palstar
custom-designed the LA-1K to work as the perfect match for our
very popular HF-AUTO autotuner.". Can anyone
explain how it is the 'perfect match'? I mean, what is it about
the connection/communication between the two that would make it
superior to say, the HF-Auto with another amplifier (e.g. Acom
700S)?
