Dave,
The 50 watts drive is not actually measured. It's where I set 'mic gain' on the 7300. It's interesting how you tune up. I'll have to try it that way.
Thanks!

I use about 3 watts FM to tune the ?tuner, then ramp it up to 35. Then go back to SSB, then take the amp out of standby

?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.?
