Depends on the band for me. I find 15m i have to really back off my drive to about 30 watts to get 900 out. Seems most efficient on 15m for me. I find if the amp goes over 1000kw output, it will go into bypass with a highswr fault even though the swr is fine, i think that is just how its designed.?
Sounds normal to me.?

Hello! I'm new to the group and my first post. Just picked up a new LA-1K yesterday and I'm driving with an Icom 7300 with 50 watts. If I speak too close into the microphone the amp displays "Overdrive" and stops transmitting. Is this normal for the amp to be so sensitive to voice peaks?? I guess I just have to learn to pay more attention to how I speak into the microphone.?
